[JW Lua] JW Lua v0.42 (Windows only)

[Jari Williamsson]

Hello All!

I've released a Windows-only update called beta v0.42 that fixes the 
multiple files issue in FCFileOpenDialog that Charles described. It's 
easier for me to make a separate update for this now, since I'm soon 
going to make some big code changes.

There's currently no way to open Finale files from JW Lua.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
