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

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.

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.

There goes my theory. :-)
then we can chalk it up to
less-than-adequate-time-to-get-things-right and blame the
stupid accountants who run MakeMusic. I know the
development team can get everything correct, if the stupid
bean-counters would take them off this vicious
"get-it-out-the-door-each-year-despite-any-bugs" mentality
and get them on the "get-it-right-and-then-we'll-sell-it"
mentality.
