Jari,

the new finenv.UI():MenuCommand(finale.MENUCMD_REDRAWSCREEN) and also 
other combinations with RedrawDocument() or FCPage:UpdateLayout() didn't 
solve the problem.
I still need to press Ctrl+D or do any other step that updates the 
screen to get the correct percussion noteheads after running the plugin.

Maybe there is an internal update flag that nees to be set for the 
percussion noteheads ?
