[JW Lua] Different results in RGP Lua/JW Lua with FCStemMod.HorizontalUpOffset, more

[Robert Patterson]

Please confirm that your Finale 25 setup is actually using RGP Lua. I have
run tests here and my script exhibits the problem (for all Finale versions)
with JW Lua, but it does not exhibit the problem for any version of Finale
with RGP Lua.

Furthermore, the code is exactly the same for Finale 25 as for 26/7. (The
bug fix was in PDK Framework code, not Finale.) All this leads me to think
your F25 menu item hooked up to JW Lua rather than RGP Lua.
