Given the new capabilities of text expressions (multi-line, control of automatic placement), why would any one use a measure-attached text block, rather than a measure-attached expression? Measure-attached text blocks *do* overlap in behavior with text expressions, but in recent versions of Finale, text expressions have been enhanced to the point that I no longer see any use for measure- attached text blocks. Page-based text blocks have no analog in text expressions, and no non- trivial overlap in their characteristics (only the text editing interface should be shared between the two). -- David W.
