It seems to me that Coda's policy has been to do a major rewrite of one subsection of the program in each upgrade. The text-handling was rewritten with WinFin97 and graphics handling added. In later releases, slurs were revised in a big way, in another, the page layout facilities were revised. Seems to me that part creation could be handled as one subsystem upgrade, though it would require some pretty extensive changes to the file format, I'd think. I still believe the best way to do it would be to store the parts as delta from the score within the main score file, while allowing the option of saving out the part into its own independent file. -- David W.
