[JW Lua] Append a note with lyric

[Jari Williamsson]

Chris,

* When saving the note entry and connecting syllables, make sure that 
the LyricFlag is set to true for the entry.

* The main problem with the script is that the freshly added entry 
doesn't have an entry number and FCNoteEntryCell:Save() will not refresh 
the info in the FCNoteEntryCell objects. So 
FCVerseSyllable::SetNoteEntry() will basically fail for the newly added 
entry. Only thing I can think of to solve it is to call 
FCNoteEntryCell:Load() after Save() and relocate the entry object, such as:
---
noteentrycell:Save()
index = noteentrycell:GetIndexOf(entry)
noteentrycell:Load()
entry = noteentrycell:GetItemAt(index)
---

* When appending a syllable to an existing string, make sure to include 
use some kind of syllable separator (such as a space).


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
