Hi Robert, That method actually clears the positioning on the top staff as well! Hence my frustration.
However, while messing around with it just now, however, I discovered that if I invoke the Expression Assignment dialog box on the rehearsal letter attached to the Violin I staff, I can enter an offset of zero in both boxes and it will return to the default position without touching the top staff. So that would seem to be the best method to use going forward.
