[JW Lua] Copy&Paste with special characters

[Jari Williamsson]

Jan,

This sounds like it works as it should, although there are still some 
bugs between JW Lua and the source code related to Unicode and/or UTF-8.

Don't put an umlaut in the code as a single-byte character, since that 
source code will not be UTF-8, and it won't be portable between 
platforms and won't work once all the Unicode bugs have been fixed.

In the next JW Lua beta, articulation defs will support the Unicode 
range on Finale 2012 and above. Finale supports 32-bit unicode symbol 
chars for articulations. However, I guess it will be mostly used for 
SMuFL-mapped fonts in the future, and those never extend beyond the 
16-bit range.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
