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

as 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.)

Hmm, I don't remember that. Maybe it was before Smart hairpins? I
only ever had it working in TG Tools.
