[JW Lua] Deleting groups...

[Simon Leclerc]

It does work, Jan. Thank you!

And you’re right to remind me of the backward approach when deleting. Important factor.

I have another question regarding this:

When the group is deleted, if I use the command “Reset all groups & Brackets”, the group re-appears.
There must be a class somewhere telling Finale that by defaut, those staves should be grouped.
It does not seem to be part of the FCStaff class.

Any idea which one?



¯\_(ツ)_/¯
