[JW Lua] Copying Percussion Layouts

[Jan Angermüller]

Jari,

is it possible to clone or create new percussion layouts from within Lua ?

I was successful in copying a percussion layout to an existing 
percussion layout
(overwriting the existing note type entries). The copied entries were 
available in the percussion layout designer.

I was also successful in copying a percussion layout to a new cmper and 
reading it from within Lua.
But: when I opened the "Percussion Layout Designer" dialog there were no 
new entries.
Do I have to call a "flush" that the percussion layout entries are updated ?

This is the code:

local PercLayout=finale.FCPercussionLayoutNotes()
PercLayout:LoadAllForItem(4)  --loads layout 4
PercLayout:SaveDataAs(4,9)   -- writes to layout 9

If layout 9 exists, its entries will be overwritten and are available in 
the layout designer
If it doesn't exist, the entries are copied, but are non-existent when 
opening the layout designer,
although they can be read within Lua.

Changing the name of the new percussion layout (SetNameString) would 
also be required.
