Momentum Scrolling Script

Really nice script, Jonathan! Thanks a lot for sharing. Previously Bernd and many LC Developers have published similar scripts. By the way, this script seems to works faster when users drags upward from Line 20 to Line 1 than dragging downwards from Line 1 to 20 Dragging upwards from Line 20
