Oh no!
I was really hoping that this would have been improved in 2009. I
have 2009 but haven't installed yet as I'm in the middle of a big
project, I was also going to wait for the first tech. upgrade based
on my experiences of previous upgrades.
I must start to use TG tools if it copies across the hairpins,
something I have never understood why the explode metatool never
covered- I mean, isn't it plainly obvious that 99% of users would
want all expressions etc to go with the explosion into the separate
parts?
The ironic thing that is that if you choose to IMPLODE multi parts
you get multiple expressions and hairpins in the target part - again,
exactly what you don't want in this case, but it proves that they
could easily program these things in if a little thought was to go
into it. There must be a lot of people who use the explode facility,
and it's something which a first timer would always demand from a
chord based or piano reduction - so why can't this be perfected, even
advanced to work a bit like the mass mover filter/choices?

Hi Chuck,
This is indeed the new behaviour, though I doubt it is a bug. It's
just a stupid change that they probably enacted knowingly with the
new expressions, but without checking who needed it first.
I liked being able to put all my dynamics, articulations, slurs and
hairpins in before exploding. In TG Tools Smart Explosion it even
copies the hairpins. Now if I use Finale's explode function, I will
have to copy Smart Hairpins as before, but now I have to add
Expressions.

Can anyone confirm a bug in which exploding one staff to multiple
staves no longer explodes expressions (dynamics) along with the
notes?
I want to make sure this bug is real before reporting it.
Thanks,
Chuck
