Hi Michael,
When in part view, use the override key when invoking the contextual
menu to hide the text expression *everywhere*, then, without using
the override key, use the contextual menu to show the text expression
only in that part. It's a two-step process, but it's much faster than
going through the parts one by one.
I don't normally like telling people to RTFM, but the section in the
Finale documentation on linked parts is very good, and is absolutely
essential reading for anyone who wants to make use of this feature.
It explains the use of the override key in detail and runs through
the easiest way to get the results you want (show in score only, show
in one part only, show in all parts but not score, etc).

Thanks very much, Dennis and JD! That's what I needed to know -- I
tend not to use contextual menus, though I should more often. I'd
definitely speed up my work.
BTW -- this method with the text blocks seems odd to me --
shouldn't there be a way to toggle back and forth (as a preference,
or menu item) between created text blocks appearing in the part
only vs. score and all parts? It's a PITA to create the block,
then have to go through all the parts I DON'T want it to appear in,
just so I can have it appear in one part only. And for certain
blocks, I prefer not to do it as an expression.

I've done this in FinMac07. Create the text block in the score or
the part, and hide it in the score. Control-click the handle for
the option. IIRC, the keyboard command is Cmd-Opt-Cntl H (or
maybe L). My mind is fuzzy right now.

Hey all --
Working mostly in FinMac07, at the moment 08. I haven't been
able to figure out, when working in a linked part, how to create
a text block that appears in only the part I'm currently working
on, without being created in all the other parts and the score as
well. Is this possible? I've been looking in the HTML help, but
can't find anything that addresses this.
TIA
