It will definitely take a major shift in my working methods, but I am glad to know how to accomplish what I was hoping for.
The drawback with this - and it is a really major drawback - is the fact that metatools cannot be used. Metatools will always assign measure expressions to all staves. Unfortunately I don't think there is a work around. Please complain to Makemusic. They should change this.
The simplest possible change would be to allow a global setting which staff-list if any the metatools should automatically use. One would still have to enter some expressions by hand, the ones using other staff lists than the standard one. But it would at least help to a certain extend.
I have the basic staff lists defined in my default file. This includes tempo indications (top staff for score, all for parts), repeat brackets (yes they use the staff lists as well now), Fine signs. Unfortunately one has to change even those occasionally (ie for piano scores the movement title is often displayed on top and on top of the piano part, repeat brackets need to be displayed on the top staff of each group, etc.
