Problems with Expression Marks

Hello, all

when copying and pasting measures all Expression marks from the previous measures get pasting automatically with the notes. I would like to stop this and paste only the notes without previous Expression marks. Maybe there's a Program Option to be unabled, I suppose, but I couldn't find it.

Thank you very much for any help.

Problems with Expressions

This is how I do it:

Mass Edit Tool.
Select the source region.
Hold down Shift-Option, and click the target region.
The window "Items to Copy" appears.

In the upper pane (Entry Items), deselect "Note Expressions".
In the lower pane (Measure Items), deselect "Measure Expressions".
Click OK.

From now on, expressions aren't included in copying.
So from now on you can copy (without expressions) in this way:

Mass Edit Tool.
Select the source region.
Hold down Option, and click the target region.

thanks for your help. I've tried to hold down Shift-Option but without success. On the other hand, I fixed the problem when using Entry items and deselecting Notes and Measure Expressions.

Shouldn't that be option (without shift) in Finale 2006 ?
