shvrdavid, thank you. I will explore this later today. I have spent parts of the last 10 days attempting to learn rigging from the ground up, in order to place helper bones in V4 head to accomplish direct manipulation for lip sync. I'm making progress with that, but if i can simply connect a prop to the already-existing morphs, that would be spectacular.

Can you parent the prop to, say, head, so that the prop stays positioned around her head no matter the pose?
