Huh? I'm not understanding you. Are you saying that staff styles
can't be applied to partial measures? Because they can.
No, I'm not saying that. If you read my sentence you will see that I
say: "to the selected measures or parts of measures." But staff
styles are assigned and do their work when assigned and remain in
effect until they are altered or removed. Expressions only have
their effect when playback reaches that point, and then only on the
sound, so for the visual a person would have to manually transpose
the notes (or enter them transposed) and assign an expression to
have them transposed back to the proper sound. An expression can't
initiate a subsequent action (such as assigning a staff style which
would be open ended until a closing expression was encountered.) The
two (staff styles and expressions) work very differently on the data.
Ah. I see now.
