[JW Lua] TextBlock width & hight, measure attached textblocks

[Jari Williamsson]

Bart,

The Width and Height has been implemented since the last public beta. 
However, when the next beta becomes available, please note that these 
methods are in the FCTextBlock object for the measure/page-attached text.

If my change log is correct, the following sample code should work in 
the current available beta as well (for creating a measure-attached text 
block in measure 4 of staff ID 1, and position it at the 2nd quarter 
note at 100 EVPUs).
---
local textblock = finale.FCMeasureText()
local cell = finale.FCCell(4, 1)
textblock:ConnectCell(cell)
textblock:SaveNew()
local str = finale.FCString()
str.LuaString = "^font(Times New Roman)^size(16)^nfx(1)test"
textblock:SaveNewTextBlock(str)
textblock.MeasurePos = 1024 -- In EDUs
textblock.VerticalPos = 100 -- In EVPUs
textblock:Save()

local meas = finale.FCMeasure()
meas:Load(4)
meas.TextFlag = true
meas:Save()
---

Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
