[JW Lua] Insert Staff Or Reorder Staves

[Robert Patterson]

Your script will just create a corrupted file (as you have discovered). The
only way to reorder staves is with Instrument Used lists. (I forget the
exact name in the PDK Framework, but it's there.) IUList 0 is Scroll View,
and each system in Page View has an IUList with a number equal to the
System Number. Each Staff Set (in Scroll View) is also an IUList. I believe
there are constants for the 8 staff list IUList numbers.

Each Linked Part has its own IULists. The only way to access them is to
switch to that part and then modify them from within the part.
