Hi Chuck,

Probably the best workaround is to stop using measure-attached expressions entirely, except for expressions you want to appear in *every* part.

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.

What about rehearsal letters that you only want on the top staff of your score, but you want to appear in each part? In FinMac 2005, those get pasted into every part as well. In other words, say I have rehearsal letter "A" set up to appear on the top staff at measure 9, and I have a two-bar phrase at letter A that I want to copy and paste into measures 11-12, 13-14 and 15-16 in an inner staff (not the top staff). The result gets letter A at measures 11, 13 and 15, in EVERY staff, not just the staff I pasted into. Now that's annoying. And how come nobody's mentioned this before now? I have reported this to MakeMusic, BTW.
