        Before installing a Lua script, make sure you've

            installed RGP Lua.

                <strong>Make a Lua Scripts folder</strong>
                <br />
                The simplest way to use RGP Lua is to create a "<b>Lua Scripts</b>" folder somewhere useful on your computer, like inside the <b>Documents</b> folder as 
                "<b>Lua Scripts</b>". You then tell <b>RGP Lua</b> to access that folder and Finale will automatically add every Lua script in the folder to the RGP Lua menu.
            </li>
            <li>
                <strong>Download new scripts</strong>
                <br />
                Search for <code>.lua</code> scripts 
                <a sveltekit:prefetch href="/scripts">on this site</a> 
                and click "<b>Download</b>" for each.
            </li>
            <li>
                <strong>Save them</strong>
                <br />
                After downloading move them all to the <b>Lua Scripts</b> folder you created above.
            </li>
            <li>
                <strong>Open Finale</strong>
                <br />
                Open a document so the RGP Lua plug-in appears.
            </li>
            <li>
                <strong>Open the plugin</strong>
                <br />
                In Finale go to <code>Plug-ins > Lua > RGP Lua...</code>
            </li>
            <li>
                <strong>Click the "Add..." button</strong>
                <br />
                The "<b>Add Item</b>" window opens.
            </li>
            <li>
                <strong>Click the "Select Folder..." button</strong>
                <br />
                Locate your <b>Lua Scripts</b> folder and click <b>Open</b>.
            </li>
            <li>
                <strong>Click OK and click OK again to close the plugin</strong>
                <br />
                A warning will pop up that the changes will not take effect 
                until Finale restarts. Click <b>OK</b>.
            </li>
            <li>
                <strong>Restart Finale</strong>
                <br />
                After Finale restarts all of the Lua scripts in your 
                <b>Lua Scripts</b> folder can now be accessed at 
                <code>Plug-ins > RGP Lua ></code><br />
                New scripts added to your <b>Lua Scripts</b> folder will 
                appear in the <code>Plug-ins > Lua > </code> menu the next time that 
                Finale starts.
