[JW Lua] Add blank page

[Jari Williamsson]

Bart,

To be able to create a blank page, the start system needs to be set to 
-1 (a magical value for Finale). However, there's no SetStartSystem() 
available for FCPage, so I'll have to add something here.

I would really want to avoid the use of magical values in JW Lua 
scripts, so I'll see if I can create something more user friendly.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
