I find this to be not too inconvenient most of the time. Chuck, I believe you are mistaken. It is true that when you enter the Expression Assignment dialog directly, the "show on" field defaults to whatever staff list you last used. However, when you use a measure-attached metatool, bypassing the Expression Assignment dialog, it will always default to show on all staves. I sincerely hope that I'm the one who is mistaken and you can show me how to make it behave as you describe, since that would allow me much greater use of time-saving metatools.
