Stack Height/Menubar

[J. Landman Gay]

Scripts can move locked controls, so you won't have to worry about that. If 
the groups are shared (background groups) their content will move with them 
and the script won't touch those buttons. It will also move card groups, so 
you may need to check for the content controls in that case.

You were right that if you know there will be a menubar it should be placed 
first, or at least space should be reserved for it. I made the same mistake 
the first time.
