[JW Lua] Creating FCBeatChartElements for a measure without FCBeatChartElements ?

Jari,
if note spacing has not been applied to a measure, then no beat chart
elements exists for the measure.
How can I create EDITABLE beat charts for that measure from within JW Lua ?
I was able to create beat charts indeed and it also works visually in
the score.
BUT: when I open the right-click mouse dialog, the "Edit Beat Chart"
option is not available for that measure.
So probably there is a flag missing, that needs to be set internally to
tell Finale, that there are indeed beat charts available.
Maybe I need something like "SetInitElement" on the first new beat chart ?
I also noticed an interesting difference on
MenuCommand(NOTE_MENUCMD_NOTESPACING) compared to Utilities->Music
Spacing->Apply Music Spacing. The latter makes the "Edit Beat Option"
visible, the first doesn't.
The same goes for my second version creating the FCBeatChartElement in
JW Lua through FCBeatChartElement:SaveNew(...) and ...RebuildAll... It
works fine visually, but the elements are not editable through "Edit
Beat Option" afterwards.
Best,
Jan
