[JW Lua] MenuCommand

[Jari Williamsson]

Chris,

Yes, I agree that's a very strange restriction in Finale's 
implementation, specially since the toolbar icon for the tool sends the 
exact same command to Finale as the menu does.

I think I've found a workable fix for this which should be available in 
the next beta, at least for Windows. Haven't checked if the same issue 
appears on the Mac as well yet.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
