Hi Jef, Easiest way to reproduce what I'm talking about is as follows:
- Setup Wizard - Select an Ensemble: Orchestra (Full) + Select a Document Style: Engraved Style - "Next" etc until done. - Use the Expression tool to place the default "Adagio q = 40" tempo mark in m.1 of the score. (Default "Tempo Mark" category is defined to show on Staff List 1, which is Top Staff: score + part, and Violin I: score.) - zoom out, select both handles for the "Adagio q = 40" expression, and Unlock via shft-opt-command-U (or select from context menu) - shift-double click handle for "Adagio q = 40" above Flute staff and add a 12 point vertical offset (or just drag up 12 points) - right-click handle for "Adagio q = 40" above Violin I staff and choose "Remove Manual Adjustments" (or just hit clear key, makes no difference). - cycle through the parts. Note that the "Adagio q = 40" expression 12 points above the default on ALL staves except Violin I. You could try this from scratch on a document without libraries but you'd get the same result. I am honestly not sure how you are NOT getting this result!
