What I do miss with smart shapes in some instances is the ability to use staff lists. On tempo-related items, which I don't put on every line in an orchestral score, any use of a smart shape requires me to choose between a lack of continuity of style in the score and (I'm using 2006, so no linked score and parts) adding items to parts, or a separate parts file, later.
