[JW Lua] Slur metrics returns wrong values - problem identified

That's another possible perspective. And yes indeed, the behaviour of 
"Tips Avoid Staff Lines" seems unclear to me too and doesn't do what it 
promises to do. So probably it's even recommended to uncheck this 
feature in the options then.
