is precisely the point. Just because I enter in two or more layers, doesn't necessarily mean that it ends up looking like a typical two layer staff. I may choose to hide notes or output from an auxiliary staff to have a "complete part" for instance.
Okay -- but why not just enter the notes once, the way you want them to look in the score,
Whoosh. You've missed my point entirely. I'm talking about musical parts--not what staves will "look" like at a later point in order to conform to notation conventions. I write "a2" as a result. That is to say a result of a particular orchestration/instrumentation of the parts of a score. Because I embrace those kinds of musical concepts, I enter music part-wise and voice-wise. For me, "look in the score" is an afterthought to making a musical statement. In fact, only one of the output possibilities Finale offers for scores.
This is a little like saying "Bah, who needs these modern web browsers -- I can get all the info I need with lynx."

(No offense intended by any of this.
No offense indeed. Since I've gone over the outline of my concepts several times, and it appears to have passed you by as many times, I think I'll stick with my previous statement: "I should have known folks don't think far enough to extrapolate the logic."
