[JWplugins] Tempo/dynamics texts for custom smart lines

[Christopher Smith]

These probably don't fall into either category, but they go over the staff:

swing
swing 8ths
swing 16ths
even
even 8ths
even 16ths

and there is one more smart shape we use a lot in jazz that often requires special positioning over the staff, but is neither dynamic nor a tempo:

fill

Is the plugin going to edit the text, the positioning, the horizontal status, the "hook" at the end, or everything? There is a particular issue with the above lines, in that they all have to be manually positioned to avoid notes, stems, slurs and articulations. In the case of the "fill" smart line, it often happens over a measure of drum slashes that have an (8) above the measure and the two collide.
