Hello Forum,

I'm encountering something unexpedted:

In the parts view for a piano stave, both of my staffs have the Tempo- and Rehearsal Expressions (see screenshot).

I'm sure there's the right check-box somewhere, but I can't seem to find it; where is it?

Thanks,
A. P.

I know what happened. We had a discussion about getting an expression to get swing playback for all the staves and I suggested modifying the Score List to include all staves for parts. I forgot to mention that for 2 staff instruments, like Piano, you can uncheck the lower staff for these kind of situations. Because, generally, both staves share a MIDI channel, you'll still get swing playback on the lower staff, but you'll avoid getting these duplicate expressions. Another thing to consider is using a different Score List for the category with the swing instruction and modify that one. Maybe Score List 2. In any event, uncheck the lower staff in the Edit box (Score List) for the parts and you're good to go.

That's exactly what happened! Thank Zuill!
