Ah, but the ONLY thing that doesn't get copied across is the smart

does any accent, staccato, or any articulation assigned to the
original chord. So the single instance theory seems to me to be
applied in an inconsistent manner and is not at all logical to the
idea of "explode" to parts.
Also, I seem to remember that a few versions (years) back the
hairpins and other smart shapes DID get transferred on explode,
maybe others can remember? I'll open up a few older versions to see
if I can put my finger on the exact one.
That's what I remember too, rightly or not. I think the new behavior
is related to the new expression design, which I find not to be
without its problems. Some things work fine, but this does not, and
there are issues with linked parts and the fact that you can't assign
a dynamic to a note in layer two and have it position itself in
relation to that note. (Down stem bass drum notes in drum set parts,
for instance.)

When you explode, there is only a single instance of each hairpin
and expression, so to end up with one on each new staff means that
the developers need to create more instances of those hairpins and
expressions.
