Jari,

I noticed that the FCMeasure.SmartShapeFlag is set to true in some of 
the measures from the original Finale 2014 default document.
Does this have any meaning ? Does it make sense to set it to false 
through a script ? (i.e. check for existing smart shapes and, if not 
available, then set to false)
"Use with extreme care!" says the online documentation.
Or better not use FCMeasure.SmartShapeFlag for anything at all as its 
value is rather uncertain.

(see code snippet below with result values from the Finale 2014/Windows 
default document)

Best,
Jan

local measure=finale.FCMeasure()
measure:Load(1)
print(measure.SmartShapeFlag)
measure:Load(2)
print(measure.SmartShapeFlag)
measure:Load(6)
print(measure.SmartShapeFlag)
