Windows 10 Finale 27

I've followed the instructions on the site, I think, but my Finale is now hiding all plug-ins.

What have I done wrong?

Look in Preferences/Folders and see if the plug-in folder corresponds to where you've put them.

That's probably where I went astray: C:\Program Files\MakeMusic\Finale\27\Plug-ins\Lua. So I've deleted that, and they're all back. But I still can't figure out where individual lua scripts would go in my files. Why do the instructions tell you to manually create a LUA folder in Plug-Ins, but then an RGP Lua folder gets automatically created? Which is what?

The Lua scripts are not plug-ins. Lua has a menu tab where you set up and point to the plug-ins, which can be anywhere you want. When you've done this, they show up in the plug-ins menu in Finale. I don't remember the details, but there's a JW Lua website and a Facebook group where you could ask. As I recall, it's well-documented.
