From the Scoring Notes blog. I was unaware this plugin was so powerful. Give it a test run!

Very helpful.

Which brings me to a (somewhat) OT question regarding (much needed) general information for JW Plug-ins - has anyone written a similar Tutorial for the JW Change Plug-in? That would really be great to have. It can obviously do lots of things, but much of it baffles me.

Not that I know of. What baffles you? Perhaps we can help here.

I've never seen a tutorial on JW Change. I think it's probably worth the time to spend an afternoon trying out the various features, of which there are hundreds of possibilities.

There is, however a tutorial on creating sequences in JW Change which will run a string of different commands:

tutorial on creating sequences in JW Change
That's very helpful already! Never tried this before ...
What baffles you?
Mostly the "Opposite" function. What exactly does it do, and why would one need/want to use it? And in general, maybe, just the somewhat overwhelming choice of items. But I can see that once one has figured out what to (repeatedly) do, creating a sequence is a great feature.

For some reason I get this blank for the first setting illustration in the tutorial (first screenshot using Firefox, 2nd with Safari, both latest).

Any ideas as to why?
