This can be accomplished a couple of different ways with the new
staff assignment functionality:
For example, add the "tpt solo" to the Technique Text group.
Down at the bottom of the selection dialog, note the assign button
click the little pop-up menu next to it.
Create a new assignment list with the staves.
Assign to the score
Select all of the expressions in question
hit the keystroke for unlink in all parts
hit the keystroke for show
You also now have a way to quickly assign to a bunch of contiguous
staves. Add an expression to one staff, hold down option (ctrl on
windows) and hit the down arrow (or up arrow) to continually add the
expression to the next staff. The advantage to this is that they all
remain selected and you can quickly unlink them and then hide them in
the score via keystrokes.

I can think of something right now that would need more score lists.
I use one for tempo marks, right out of the default settings.
For the others, I can easily run through seven sets of expressions
that I need in the parts but not the score, like a notation saying
"tpt solo" on the parts that are not the trumpet, and a notation
saying "Alto Sax solo" on the parts that are not the alto, and
various notations like "(bass)" when it enters, or "(voice)" when it
enters, that don't need to be on the score because the conductor HAS
all the instruments in view and can see easily who is entering and
to have it would be cluttered, but the musicians need the text on
the parts.
As it is, I would have to add the text into each part, hide it with
the override key, then show it without the override key, a multi-
step process that adds to the time required considerably. A score
list (formerly "staff list" makes this task much easier, plus I used
to able to NAME the lists to keep track of them!

For expressions, we now have:
- Score Lists (formerly staff lists) which are useful for
situations where expressions are assigned differently in score and
in parts (for example, tempo markings that will probably appear in
the score only over the top staff and the 1. Violin staff, but will
show in every part). Their number is limited to 8.
- Expression Assignment Lists (new feature in 2009a), which are
useful for putting in expressions in multiple staves at the same
time, if you have a lot of situations where you need to add a
dynamic or other expression to exactly the same set of staves.
These are unlimited in number.
Staff Sets have not changed: they are used in Scroll View to view
only certain staves, so that (for instance) you can concentrate on
just the voice parts, or look at the woodwind and string parts
only. They are (as before) limited to 8 in number.

I'm sorry, I don't understand: why would you need so many score
lists for Beethoven's 9th?

I think I understand the mix-up. My fault entirely. I meant staff
lists of course. Can't remember what score lists used to be
called, I think they were staff sets, right?
