<![CDATA[Guideline Magnetism]]>Is it possible to set the default magnetism for a new guideline?
Currently, new guidelines are slightly magnetic, but I’d prefer non-magnetic guides by default (I rarely use the snapping feature).

g = CurrentGlyph()
for guideline in g.guidelines:
    guideline.magnetic = 0

defaultGuidelineShowMeasurment
defaultGuidelineMagnetic

to change the default use, or the preference json editor (alt click the Preferences menu item):

from mojo.ui import setDefault
setDefault("defaultGuidelineMagnetic", 0)
