Hi Chuck,
Probably the best workaround is to stop using measure-attached expressions entirely, except for expressions you want to appear in *every* part.
Hi Darcy et al,
The problem is this: all the measure attached expressions are copied into the new document - overlaying the ones that are already there, so this suggestion doesn't really result in improved behavior or more overall control.
Actually, it does -- make a copy of the score, and convert all measure expressions to note expressions. Then delete the note expressions that are already in there as measure expressions in your target document. Or, delete all measure expression in your target document before copying.
Post-2004, there's really no good reason anymore to use Staff Lists instead of note-attached expressions for staff-specific things like dynamics or instrument changes. They will go in faster with metatoools anyway (vs. Staff Lists, which were always cumbersome), and in most cases, positioning will be better.
Every once in a while, it is useful to have a measure expression attached to one staff only. (This doesn't happen often, but there are occasional reasons to do it.)
Not until this problem is fixed (obviously), which is where TGTools comes in handy.
These expressions also "migrate" to the new document, even when they have been assigned to unrelated staves - like "To Alto Sax" showing up in a trumpet part.
Right, so (for now) make it a note attached expression in the sax part.
Trust me. This is misbehavior and needs to be fixed by someone at MakeMusic.
I agree, but in the meanwhile, try converting everything to note expressions.
