I think this question applies to just about any more recent version of
Finale. 3-staves of music (organ music), each assigned to a different MIDI
channel, same patch assignemnt. The lowest 2 staves have 'display measure
expressions' set to off (so only the top stave shows measure expressions).
Human playback is turned off.
When I assign a measure expression, assigned to all staves, with playback
velocity, it only seems to affect the top stave, not all three staves. Why
is this? Shouldn't a measure assigned expression's playback options
affect all the staves in that measure? If I want different playback
options (velocities) for each stave, I would use a note attached
expression on each stave. Right?

What am I doing wrong? How do I get one dynamic expression with playback
velocity to affect all three staves (or even 2 staves in piano music).
Yes, organ music often has different dynamics for each stave, but often
you only put one dynamic marking that is good for all staves.
What you're asking about has never been the case -- measure expressions
only affect the staff they're on and any other staves assigned to the
same channel.
Since you've got all three staves set to three channels, you need to
place the expression in all three staves for them to work correctly.
This (to answer someone else's post questioning the need to have one
file for printout and a second copy for playback) is a reason we
sometimes need 2 copies of the score, one for playback (place the
expression in all staves so they all respond properly) and one for
printout (since a human can respond to one instance of an expression and
apply that to both hands and feet).
Or you can simply set all staves to the same channel and the single
expression will affect them all.
