Usually move them in ways that may well be covered by the Mass Mover/ Change Artic. Assignments possibility that you suggested and I hadn't noticed.

I hardly ever think of right-clicking on things. I just tried this, and in 2000c it works when you click on the handle of an expression, but for e.g. articulations and smart shapes you have to left-click on the handle before the right-click does anything. I have all the main tools set up on the F keys because I hate the mouse, but it sounds as if the Selection Tool should save some time. > And if you double >click an object with the selection tool, Finale selects the correct tool >for that object and then selects the object's handle.
