Good tip Jef.  I am in the habit of whenever I copy/paste from another file, I 
immediately go into the Expression dialog and delete the latest dupes.  I even 
have macros that automate the process somewhat to reduce the tedium of this 
operation.  I repeat the same process with articulations.  It’s an obscene 
PITA, but I do it to keep the libraries from becoming bloated.  I worked on an 
opera several years ago that had 1800 measures in the first act and 1600 in the 
second.  The client kept making edits that were best resolved via C/P.  The 
libraries were a complete cluster-f*** and I spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME cleaning 
things up.  So your tip would help matter some.

Hopefully someone can help with this.  I don’t ever see MM addressing this 
issue. Sigh.
