[JW Lua] Wrong results with FCNote:CalcRightsidePlacement

[Jari Williamsson]

Jan,

I guess the layout metrics in Finale requires an update.

Call the static metod FCNoteEntry::MarkEntryMetricsForUpdate() before 
the call to see if that fixes the issue. Let me know how it goes.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
