[BUG] Script descriptions getting scrambled

[cv-on-hub]

The script definitions of the last set of repo submissions are scrambled at https://www.finalelua.com/scripts.

Obviously something to do with the extraction of ScriptGroupName, but many of the most recent dozen or so suffer this scrambling. See attached

NOTE:
Just realised maybe it's because the [[ ... ]] header descriptions have no line breaks?

I see the issue, though I don't have any more time this weekend to work on it.

The metadata parser assumes that multiline strings actually span multiple lines. So here when you're defining the multiline string on a single line it doesn't see the ending so it keeps on going until there's another line that starts with ]].

lua-scripts/src/cross_staff_offset.lua

Lines 10 to 27 in 73f327b

	finaleplugin.AdditionalMenuOptions = [[ CrossStaff Offset No Dialog ]]
	finaleplugin.AdditionalUndoText = [[ CrossStaff Offset No Dialog ]]
	finaleplugin.AdditionalPrefixes = [[ no_user_dialog = true ]]
	finaleplugin.AdditionalDescriptions = [[ Offset horizontal position of cross-staff note entries - NO DIALOG ]]
	finaleplugin.Notes = [[
	When creating cross-staff notes using the option-downarrow shortcut, the stems of
	'crossed' notes are reversed (on the wrong side of the notehead) and appear too far
	to the right (if shifting downwards) by the width of one notehead, typically 24EVPU.
	This script lets you set a horizontal offset for all cross-staff notes in the
	selected region, with a different offset for non-crossed notes.
	For crossing to the staff below use (-24,0) or (-12,12).
	For crossing to the staff above use (24,0) or (12,-12).
	Also specify which layer number to act upon (1-4) or "all layers" (0).
	(This also offers a simple way to reset the horizontal offset of all notes in the selection to zero).
	This script adds an extra `NO DIALOG` menu item to rapidly duplicate the last action
	without using a confirmation dialog.

This is a bug in the parser that should be fixed, but I also don't know when I'll next have time to fix it (I probably spent too much time on Lua stuff this weekend).

Yes @Nick-Mazuk - you've had nose heavy on the grindstone. I'll re-submit what I can with real multiline statements.

Git is amazing until that 1% of the time when it's a nightmare. Good luck, y'all.

[Nick-Mazuk]

I'll re-submit what I can with real multiline statements.

If we can keep this issue open even after these PRs that would be great. That way we can keep track of it here so when I get another sprint to work on Lua stuff I know to fix the underlying issue.
