Say an expression metatool is programmed with a certain hotkey. I want to use that hotkey so it is associated with different expression. How do I do that? For example: I want to use the hotkeys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 as metatools for finger numbers for piano players. Currently the number 1 is used for the dynamic expression ffff (I am using a Finale template with preprogrammed metatools). How do I reprogram the hotkey "1" so it points to the expression "1" (which I have created) instead of ffff?

Be aware it's a per-file setting, so you'll need to either redo it for each file, change your default template, or save a library and load it for each file.
