Re: [Denemo-devel] Please make (d-NextSelectedObject) work for multi-staff selections

[Nils]

What exactly does d-NextSelectedObject do?

It looks like that its a MoveCursorRight that returns #t if the next item is 
selected and #f if not, but it moves the cursor right NEVERTHELESS! 
The cursor should not move outside the selection but stay inside and return #f 
instead.
