When I control-click a text expression (measure or note attached makes no difference) handle, it turns orange. I can't restore its original colour. What does the orange mean? How do I restore the original colour?
When you pressed the control key (command key on the Mac) while clicking on the expression in score view, you unlinked that expression between the score and the parts. The normal behavior in score view is for all edits to affect both the score and the parts (i.e., linked), and the modifier key is what, instead, breaks the link, whether or not you actually move the object.
The opposite is true for parts view. If you make any edits in part view, then it is automatically unlinked, unless you press the modifier key while you do it.
As others have mentioned, to relink (and change the color back to normal), right-click on the expression and choose "Relink in All Parts."
