You're right, there should be an easier way. I haven't had the need
enough to find the fastest workaround, and I have found it irritating
to create it, hide it, show it, and then hide it again. If I used it
more, I might be motivated to explore it more thoroughly, but I've
only dabbled with it, and then only out of necessity. I have enough
on my hands right now keeping me from cursing the program more due to
MM very user-unfriendly attitude of late.

Thanks very much, Dennis and JD! That's what I needed to know -- I
tend not to use contextual menus, though I should more often. I'd
definitely speed up my work.
BTW -- this method with the text blocks seems odd to me --
shouldn't there be a way to toggle back and forth (as a preference,
or menu item) between created text blocks appearing in the part
only vs. score and all parts? It's a PITA to create the block,
then have to go through all the parts I DON'T want it to appear in,
just so I can have it appear in one part only. And for certain
blocks, I prefer not to do it as an expression.

I've done this in FinMac07. Create the text block in the score or
the part, and hide it in the score. Control-click the handle for
the option. IIRC, the keyboard command is Cmd-Opt-Cntl H (or
maybe L). My mind is fuzzy right now.

Hey all --
Working mostly in FinMac07, at the moment 08. I haven't been
able to figure out, when working in a linked part, how to create
a text block that appears in only the part I'm currently working
on, without being created in all the other parts and the score as
well. Is this possible? I've been looking in the HTML help, but
can't find anything that addresses this.
TIA
