[JW Lua] Calculating the slur metrics when a slur goes over several staff systems

[Jan Angermüller]

Thank you very much Jari, for the info!
It's really a pity that MM doesn't give out the Finale PDK anymore, so 
that we can't help you finding it out.
As a pretty cumbersome, but possible workaround it would be great if you 
could supply FCSlurContours and FCSmartShapePlacement. Currently I am 
using an estimation of where the slurs are. But if the slur settings 
don't use the default values, I have to manually update all these 
parameters.

Best,
Jan
