Do you also experience difference between "speed" of key nudging when use within Smart Shapes, Expressions and Articulations?
I find it annoying. I use keyboard nudging for fine tuning, but Smart shapes go faster than Expressions, depending also of zoom.

If Expressions are slow to nudge, you could try deleting the unused Expressions, if there are many.

Expressions are not slow to nudge (in responsivness), but the steps are not identical with Smart Shapes. For instance one-nudge hairpin needs three-nudges of an expression.

In the current document I have almost 1000 expressions, but that occurs with a completely empty documents.

Try yourself: use Selection tool or separate tools to nudge them.

If you're trying to align and nudge dynamics and hairpins, you should be using the full version of TG Tools "Align and Move".
