But of course, using the Horiztonal Offset in the expression
definition, you CAN specify an absolute offset from beat position.
That's just one of the many benefits of the Fin2004+ expressions.
And, as you point out, there's just no way selecting expressions from
the list can ever be remotely as efficient as working with metatools
-- and that's even without the substantial added benefits of auto-
positioning. I admit that I find myself vaguely appalled that Mark
still selects dynamics from the expression list. He probably still
pays his bills by mail, too. [grin]

adjustments for many cases (you've seen the stuff i work on i'm
sure) i would never return to manually entering positioning
coordinates as the norm.
mark, i won't try to force anyone to change their habits, i'm just
astonished that someone as meticulous as you about these things has
not seriously looked into the benefits this functionality has to
offer.
