[JW Lua] Some FCMiscDocPrefs.SymbolCommonTimeSig issues

[Jan Angermüller]

Jari,

I have some questions about FCMiscDocPrefs.SymbolCommonTimSig and 
SymbolCutTimeSig:

1.) If I change these values, nothing happens in the score, although the 
value is stored correctly in docprefs when reloading.  See script 1 
below. The character values in "Document Options - Time Sigs" do not 
change either.

2.) There also seems to be a range problem when selecting unicode 
characters (character code>255) for SymbolCommonTimeSig:
when I put a unicode character into FCMiscDocPrefs.SymbolCommonTimSig 
(for example 57721), it becomes a "signed 16bit"(or 32bit) instead of an 
"unsigned 16bit"(or 32bit): 57721 becomes -7815.
See script 2 below. The value doesn't save in this case - probably 
because JW Lua thinks it's out of range. If I select the unicode 
character in the "Document options" manually, the unicode characters 
work fine in Finale.

3.) Shouldn't SymbolCommonTimSig  and SymbolCutTimeSig be placed in 
FCMusicCharacterPrefs instead of FCMiscDocPrefs as they handle music 
characters ?

Tested on 2014d/Windows 7/JW Lua v0.30.

Best regards,
Jan

Script 1:
local docprefs=finale.FCMiscDocPrefs()
docprefs:LoadFirst()
docprefs.SymbolCommonTimeSig=65
print(docprefs.SymbolCommonTimeSig)
docprefs:Save()
docprefs:LoadFirst()
print(docprefs.SymbolCommonTimeSig)--check if value was stored 
correctly, and yes, it was, but not it was not updated in the Document 
Options

Script 2:
local docprefs=finale.FCMiscDocPrefs()
docprefs:LoadFirst()
docprefs.SymbolCommonTimeSig=0xE179
print(docprefs.SymbolCommonTimeSig)  --oops, returns -7815 instead of 57721
docprefs:Save()
docprefs:LoadFirst()
print(docprefs.SymbolCommonTimeSig)  --check if value was stored 
correctly, and no, it wasn't
