Very basic question!
I’m on Fin Win 2001d (Yeah- OK, I know, I know should update – but I
prefer it to the later toggle type simple(?) entry of 2003 onwards!)
Actually I have 2004 here on disc- tried it- couldn’t handle all the
dangly bits!
I probably can’t use it now- (or could I?)
Yes you should be able to install it even now.

Having created “continue” as an expression, and assigned c as the
metatool, I find I cannot make it enter on “this stave only” without the
full; double click, select, dialogue box, this stave only, OK, routine.
Wish I could use for instance,- ctrl/shift meta- or something to
acheive this! Or am I missing something?
In the Expression menu are three options (at least these have been here
the past few versions, can't remember when they were introduced) for
metatool assignment. You can specify measure-attached only, or
note-attached only, or context-sensitive.
With context-sensitive, if you have the mouse cursor anywhere other than
exactly on a note (watch the cursor change to be certain) and use the
metatool, you will get a measure expression which will be in all staves.
If you have the cursor pointing exactly at a note column (again, watch
the cursor to be sure it has changed to the note-specific cursor) and
use the metatool it will place a note expression on that staff alone.
