var.settings.global
getVar(id).settings.global() (since beta 0.3) Makes the Var element accessible from the script that has not been evaluated yet (=~ all the script below .settings.global()). Note: any newVar command using the same id will be ignored if it comes further below the .global() setting command. This is particularly helpful when calling newVar in the Header, the …
