If you simply use the shape expression palette to place a hairpin in different locations, editing one for length will change the lengths for all the hairpins in the document.
So assign a metatool and place them with that. What it does is to automatically create a duplicate hairpin, so when you go back and look at your shape expression palette after placing a lot of them this way, you will have a lot of hairpins showing where you originally had only one facing each way. Before smartshapes this used to be the only way to do it and it sure got messy pretty fast on very expressive compositions!

Is it possible to insert hairpins -(cresendo up or down) to "show on all staves" in a score.
I know one is offered a choice in Expressions- i.e. "Show on all staves" or "this Stave only" -but is such a choice offered on appropriate smart shapes. I accept it could not always work on slurs for example- or trills.
Hairpins are among the choices you have in the Shapes portion of the Expressions Selection box. Select the hairpin, click OK, and you'll have the choices you mentioned (All Staves, This Stave Only, etc.). If "All..." is clicked, click OK and you'll see the hairpins on all staves. Double-click on a handle and you'll see boxes you can use to change the shape as desired (wider, narrower, higher, shorter, etc.), and you'll note that all the shapes change accordingly on all staves. It also can have a playback effect assigned to it. To do that, edit its definition.
