[JW Lua] Creating Rehearsal Marker Expression Definition

[Jan Angermüller]

The best thing is always to look what Finale does.
Just open an existing rehearsal mark expression and see, how it loooks. 
Then do the same.
It's not an empty "text", but a text with the ^rehearsal() enigma tag.
See: http://jwmusic.nu/jwplugins/wiki/doku.php?id=jwlua:enigmastrings

FCTextExpressionDef has UseEnclosure and CreateEnclosure.
There is also FCEnclosure with SaveNew.

Hide Measure Numbers: that's indeed one thing that I haven't used and 
found either.
MIght be missing in JW Lua.

Best,
Jan
