[JW Lua] UI:MoveToMeasure doesn't advance the score

[Jan Angermüller]

I noticed that it works fully in part scroll view (on Windows).
But in score scroll view it only advances if it is a measure that is 
currently not visible.
Here is a tiny workaround: first jump back to the (probably invisible) 
measure 1, then jump to the next measure.
That works fine for all measure, except the very first ones where it 
will always jump to measure 1.

local ui = finenv.UI()
local currentmeasure=ui.CurrentMeasure
ui:MoveToMeasure(1,0)
ui:MoveToMeasure(currentmeasure+1,0)

But why do you need that in a script ?
Isn't it easier to use macros (arrow keys ?) or something like 
shift+mouse wheel to jump to the next measure ?
