I don't think there would be a problem, since the functionality of Top Note would remain the same -- it's just the initial positioning option for new instances of the expression that would change. When I currently open an older file in 2004, the expression definition is set to Top Note, additional offset 0, and each instance of the expression has a 'Distance From Alignment Point' value in the Note Expression Assignment box. This is all fine -- I'm just saying that now when I plop down a new instance of that expression, the offset actually *should* be 0, so that the baseline of the expression lines up with the notehead. I don't think any of this is inconsistent.
