Rich, thanks for the explanation. Quite clear.
Next question (I may be a bit slow today):
Why aren't _all_ expressions that I tweaked orange, only the ones I
Ctrl-clicked?

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."
