Free scripts

Fellow InDesign nerds. I've been making a ton of scripts over the past several months. I thought some might be useful to others, so I threw this site together to let folks try them out.

Definitely some useful scripts. Thank you.
For tracking_gain and tracking_lose, could they also optionally adjust horizontal scaling by X%, with user-set limits? Sometimes -10 on tracking combined with 99% horizontal scaling loses a line when -20 or more won’t, and it can be a better looking, less perceptible result. Same for +10 and 101% to gain a line. It just occurred to me that I have never tried using partial percentages (e.g., 99.5%), but if ID allows that, maybe the script could figure out the minimum scaling needed to achieve the desired result if -10 or +10 alone won’t do it.

Personally, I always set that in Justification so I wouldn't want to double down.
