kurt, johannes (and others),

I would NOT mingle the two tools since they have an entirely other functionality. However, I'd like some of the things you mention, but in the Text Tool where I might use them.
actually they don't, both tools at present control different instances of very similar items: what difference is there between a multi-word text block and a multi-word text expression (in the current state of the tools)? there is no answer to this, each user makes this distinction for themselves, perhaps according to the notational style, but one thing is certain, for me at least, they are not two different tools, although they may be called upon to do different tasks in different situations: one tool allows us to assign to the note or measure, the other to the measure (in a different manner) and the page, this overlapping is redundant. alignment of two expressions assigned with different tools is a problem, as is assuring consistent appearance and behaviour of them following changes to the layout. with the recent improvements to the expression tool, the distinction is even less significant than it was before.
