Hello All,

Here are the full release notes for beta 0.43:

* FCStaff and FCStaffStyleDef classes are now based on a __FCStaffBase 
class that handles all shared behaviour.

* These methods are now also available in FCStaffStyleDef: 
MakeNormalNotation, IsPercussion, IsTablature, IsNormalNotation,
GetTranspose, GetAbbreviatedNameID, GetFullNameID, 
InstrumentMatchesUUID, HasInstrumentAssigned, CreateFullNameString, 
CreateAbbreviatedNameString, CreateDisplayFullNameString,

The dialogs are have some auto-layout features and handles Windows/Mac 
output differently with device independence. The FCCustomLuaWindow class

Finale data processing in JW Lua, and the recommended approach to

measure selections, progress bar support, and much more.
