[JW Lua] TS and KS as strings example

[Jan Angermüller]

measure is a pointer to an object (an FCMeasure taken from the 
collection FCMeasures).
If you do print(measure) you see the pointer.
Now you assign this pointer to lastmeasure. It points to the identical 
memory that measure uses.
Check this script:

local measure=finale.FCMeasure()
measure:Load(1)
local lastmeasure=measure
print(measure,lastmeasure)
print(measure:ClassName(),lastmeasure:ClassName())
