Doesn't the last triangle have an effect on the selected syllable?
I think so, which is why I have little use for it. Why not just drag the syllable directly, instead of clicking to select it then dragging the arrow?
This is not so much of a problem for expressions/articulations that have no effect on playback (such as bowing marks), but the UI for articulations, in particular, doesn't give much help to you with distinguishing them, unless there's been some change to the articulations dialog in 2004+ that is analogous to the addition of display descriptions for expressions.
I think it WAS in 2004 (I'm not sure, because I didn't use it much because of the speed issues on Mac) that they introduced non-printing text on SHAPE articulations. It's not as convenient as the expression descriptions, because you have to create an articulation as a shape instead of just as a character, and it's buried a few levels down, and it's rather fussy compared with the elegant ease of the expressions dialogue box, but it IS there.
On the other hand, once you create an articulation (say, an accent that always goes above the note for divisi passages) you never have to touch the darn thing again if you make it part of your default file.
