[Finale] unknown articulations

A student of mine asked a question about some articulations in percussion music they found. These articulations (and a few related ones I found) also happen to be in Finale's default articulation library. They are in these slots: 1) Articulation 55 (Shape Selection 34) - it's a tenuto dash with a

In Finale 2008 and previous, expressions could be attached directly to grace notes. The size would be reduced (unless the expressions had fixed sizes) and the positioning would be correct. In 2010, this functionality has changed (I guess it actually changed in 2009). The solution MakeMusic gave me
