Hi Aaron,<br>
<br>
here is a very old mail from Jari. You need to update the
expressions with an extra loop.<br>

<blockquote type="cite">Some additional
info: Expression defs are actually very weak linked with the
categories in Finale (much more weak than the impression the UI
gives). If you make changes to a category, you need to manually
update all expression defs that connects that category. <br>
