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?


Justification. Can't do it in the new text expressions.

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.


Almost true, but not quite. In addition to the justification issue, one rarely re-uses text blocks, whereas we often reuse text expressions, as some have pointed out. Having blocks of dialogue cues show up in the text expression list would be a huge pain, so it is logical (now) to enter them as measure-attached text blocks, for one example.
