When I've opened old files and encountered this situation I've had pretty good luck moving all the dynamics from the miscellaneous category to the dynamics category. Make sure the dynamics positioning is what you want, and you may have to "reset to category" all the expressions you moved and possibly select those expressions in the score and hit "clear," which resets to default category positioning.
Good luck!
