[JW Lua] Attaching a new entry-based custom smart line to a score

[Jan Angermüller]

That's fantastic, Chris ! Thanks a lot.
The PresetShape=true is indeed irritating.

Have you also been successful in attaching a notehead-attached 
smartshape, like the glissando or the tab slide ?
I have only been able to clone them, but not to create them. Or the 
created glissandi turned out to be entry-based (="Attach to Notes") with 
buggy behaviour, but not "Attach to Noteheads"-glissandi.
In January 2015 I posted the glissando attachment question, but 
unfortunately never got an answer from Jari.

Best,
Jan
