[JW Lua] Added glissando smartshape always appears at the wrong position in the score

[Jan Angermüller]

Jari,

I haven't succeeded yet in adding a glissando smartshape at the correct 
position.
Probably it's the following sentence from FCSmartShape:SaveNewEverything()
that I am missing or that I don't understand:
"For note-attached smart shapes, the frame collection that
contains the entries need to be saved after the successful return from 
this method."

The code snippet is below. It creates a glissando between two half notes
in measure 1 on staff 1. The glissando does appear in the score after 
the execution,
but at the wrong position (see screenshot: it's placed far above the staff).

I tried to set as many properties as possible (Endpoints, CtrlPoints, 
etc. - not all of them are required here, I know).
But the glissando always appears at the /same /wrong position -
no matter which endpoint offsets I enter.

I also tried it with FCNoteEntryCell and FCNoteEntryLayer instead of 
eachentrysaved(),
but that shouldn't and didn't make a difference.
What's the possibly required call for "saving the frame collection" 
after SaveNewEverything() ?
Or is there a problem with the endpoint assignment ?
I used JW Lua 0.29 / Finale 2014c / Windows 7.

And another question in this context:
I don't understand the meaning of "preset/custom" here.
I thought that a glissando would be a preset shape as it is one of the 
SMARTSHAPE_TYPES 
<http://www.finaletips.nu/frameworkref/group__lua__classes.html#ga29b94a28426154f61cb5bf57d14a8b42>.
But it only appears as a glissando in the score, if I also set the 
correct LineID which
is defined as "Returns the line style ID for /custom /smart shapes."
So what is a preset / custom in this context ? And does 
SetPresetShape(true) have any meaning here ?

Thanks a lot for your hints in advance !

Best regards,
Jan


for e in eachentrysaved(finenv.Region()) do

measure pos 0 in measure 1

             if (e2.MeasurePos==2048) and (e2.Measure==1) then --second 
note on measure pos 2048 in measure 1
