[JW Lua] Changing noteheads in FCPercussionLayoutNotes problem ... cont'd

[Jari Williamsson]

Jan,

It's very likely that the FCUI:RedrawDocument() method does something 
else than selecting the "Redraw Screen" item from the "View" menu. I'll 
add a
MENUCMD_REDRAWSCREEN command for the next beta.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
