Dear Barbara,

I try to figure things out without the online manual in most cases but, for this, it is more efficient to read the manual first. You will find that re-linking expressions from a part will not move the expression in the score to the position you have chosen for the part but will move the expression in the part back to the position you set in the score. It's important to understand this behavior when working with linked parts. This is all workable, but requires a good bit of changing work habits.

When you do any sort of edit to an expression after placing it, it becomes unlinked between the score and the parts. The color changes to orange to indicate this. To restore it to the original color (which is meaningless as far as colors go) you need to relink the expression. Right-click and then select Re-link (or restore link or whatever it's called.)

Do you mean that every expression I nudged a bit is now unlinked?
