[JW Lua] AddGuide function doesn't work properly

[Robert Patterson]

RGP Lua 0.60 will add a new method FCGuides.SaveAll. This will allow you to
save the guides without saving the FCGridsGuidesPrefs. It will only work in
Finale 26.2+ and is intended to work around the Finale bug that was
introduced in that version. There will be more explanation in the PDK
Framework comments at FCGridsGuidesPrefs::Save.
