[JW Lua] Repeat Brackets Hide Mysteriously ... More info, but still unsolved

[Jan Angermüller]

I have found out that when you copy (Save as...) the repeat bracket to a 
new measure, the new repeat bracket will behave correctly and not hide 
when calling sep:AssureStaffPlacement(1) .
So there seems be some measure cell flag that says that the repeat 
bracket should hide. But I can't access it.
When I now delete the old repeat bracket in measure 5 and run the script 
again to copy back from measure 6 to measure 5, the new repeat bracket 
will again behave false and hide. So the "Hide" flag is not reset by 
deleting the repeat bracket, but still seems to be active in the background.

The result:
- the first repeat bracket is again hidden
- but the copied repeat bracket is fine


Here is the new test code (applied to the document from the email 2/7/2019):

local endrep=finale.FCEndingRepeat()
if endrep:Load(5) then   --i.e. load bracket in measure 5
     endrep.IndividualPositioning=true --not really required here as it 
is already true in the document, just for better understanding
     local sep=endrep:CreateSeparatePlacements()
     local s=sep:AssureStaffPlacement(1)    -- i.e. create separate 
placement element for staff 1 -> this leads to the hiding

     --Now save to measure 6 and see what happens
     endrep:SaveAs(6)
     local meas=finale.FCMeasure()
     meas:Load(6)
     meas.RepeatBracketFlag=true --make the new repeat bracket active
     meas:Save()
     local sep=endrep:CreateSeparatePlacements()
     local s=sep:AssureStaffPlacement(1) --DOES NOT hide the second 
repeat bracket

     --try again with loading
     local endrep=finale.FCEndingRepeat()
     if endrep:Load(6) then
         endrep.IndividualPositioning=true
         local sep=endrep:CreateSeparatePlacements()
         local s=sep:AssureStaffPlacement(1)   --DOES NOT hide the 
second repeat bracket
     end
end

Anyone any ideas?
