I was getting my usual 20 windows of expression marks when suddenly I'm only getting two windows! What did I do and how can I fix it?

Did you click the button on the right with the plus sign? try clicking the minus sign and see if it changes.

Yes, use the “magnifying glass” buttons to view the expressions at a bigger or smaller size.

Duh. I have been using Finale since late in the last century, and I never new about those little magnifying glasses!

Don’t worry, those little magnifying glasses have only been available since MM updated the expressions tool; they certainly weren’t there at the end of the last century!

When I use them, they enlarge the frames, but not the expressions in them. This can't be expected behavior, can it?

On my system, some of them enlarge but not others. I'm guessing scree resolution might contribute.
