I actually never use it for that. I use it for a situation very typical for 18th century orchestral music: doubling parts. Say you have a flute part that doubles the violins, instead of making real copies, I simply mirror it, and every piano or staccato I add to the violin part will automatically be mirrored in the flute part, I don't have to enter a single note or sign in those passages in the flute part.
