I am trying to delete extraneous shapes (sometimes in the 100's) from the
Shapes Library and can't figure out how to delete those that are
apparently "in use" I get the message, "This Library Element cannot be
deleted. It is in use in the piece." How can it be in use when there are
no entries in the template?
The shape is in use if the shape id is specified in an execute shape block
in an expression, even if the expression is set for no playback. Also,
those shapes which are shape expressions are flagged as in use.
Go through the expressions table, set all (or at least all those you don't
want) the "execute shape" entries to zero. Shapes might also be used as
an articulation.

I should have mentioned that this was a FinMac03 issue (since I still have
to use that platform quite a bit). I cannot find an expression table
anywhere in it. Also, there is a difference between the alert I quoted
above, and the dialog that allows you to either replace the entry or delete
it from the library and score.
