How do you place an "Allegro" marking to a note to allign with the start of the time sig (as you can with a measure attached expression), let alone the trouble when extracting parts. it's not silly at all, mark seemed fairly clearly to be referring to note-specific expressions; although i could be wrong... and of course tempi and other score-related expressions should be measure attached.
All I said was there are situations where measure attached expressions have a lot of advantages.

It is f=?)(()/ plain stupid that Finale doesn't at least remember the last setting of the staff asignment dialog when using metatools, just as it does when entering them manually. It makes metatools pretty useless with measure assigned expressions. There are many possible solutions to this problem, and it has been a problem for many years. The least that should have been done is a setting where Finale remembers the last setting. That's not too much to ask. Personally I think it should be even better about it, and let you assign a default stafflist to each expression.
