[JW Lua] Are FCMeasure properties part-dependent or global ?

[Jari Williamsson]

That's the way Finale works. Data usually is identical between 
parts/score, the things that usually differ when unlinked are 
positioning and visibility variables. That's how I have understood it 
anyway.


Best regards,
