sounds like text expressions to me.  they will remain properly 
positioned even after layout changes.  i have had inconsistencies in 
placement with text tool blocks.

very long and multiple-line text strings are also possible in 
expressions, add line breaks where you need them.  here only the page 
number and score system dividers are text blocks (page-attached, 
obviously):

the only advantage i see in text blocks is the ability to define them 
to have centred and justified alignment... which the expression tool 
should have hade centuries ago, by the way, in case anyone is 
listening.
