[JW Lua] FCSmartShape::SaveNewEverything

[Jari Williamsson]

Thomas,

Hairpins aren't note-attached, so note entries (and their frames) aren't 
needed for hairpins.

That said, there are a number of smart shapes-related issues and bugs in 
the PDK Framework, and I think creating measure-attached smart shapes 
might be one of them. All correspondence related to smart shapes are 
saved, as I aim to address all these issues in one go in an upcoming beta.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
