You're right. Stupid accidental trackpad click.

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
The step "Select all of the expressions in question" isn't
necessary, at least on Mac: when I use an assignment list to enter
an expression on several staves, all copies of the expression are
already selected. If the assignment list exists already, the routine
is:
Double-click in score
Select expression
Choose assignment list
hit the keystroke for unlink in all parts
hit the keystroke for show/hide
Compared with the old method, if the staff list exists already:
Double-click in score
Select expression
Make sure that "Measure expression" is checked"
Click on Select
Choose Staff List
Click on Select
Of course it means changing habits, but once the habits are changed,
the new method is no slower than the old one. Note that when the
assignment lists is selected, you are immediately returned to the
score with the expression selected: no need for an extra click on
"select" (or press of "return"). Moreover, with drag-apply and
option (or control) + down/up arrow you can, in most situations,
enter expressions even faster than with assignment lists.
