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.

Hi Jacqueline,
Thanks for pointing out this routine.
I have some modifications I need to
make to it though.
I have to check to see if any items
are locked, and unlock them before
changing the location and then
re-lock them after the change.
The number of controls also includes
groups which are made up of buttons
so I will have to modify my calculation
there.
I also read your informative links to
the other menu tutorials.
Thanks,
Rick

Does anyone have a nice routine which
will compensate for the change in layout
by moving all other objects farther down?
I thought I saw a mention this before.
on pushDown
repeat with x = 1 to the number of bgs
set the top of bg x to the top of bg x + 22
end repeat
repeat with x = 1 to the number of cds
go cd x
repeat with n = 1 to the number of cd parts
set the top of cd part n to the top of cd part n + 22
end repeat
end repeat
end pushDown
This is from a HyperCard-to-LC conversion tutorial. "Parts" is a HC synonym
for "controls", which you can substitute if you want. The default menubar
height used to be 22, but change that number if you need to.
