The two are not mutually exclusive. I believe some linkage between score and parts is eventually coming, but I'm pretty sure it's a difficult problem to solve and is probably several years off, still. In the meanwhile, tabs would at least make it easier to manually update the score and all of the parts at once.
Tabs might also make it possible to be more selective about those plugins that allow you to affect all open documents at once. You could put the documents you wanted to affect with, e.g., Patterson Beams, in a single, tab-delimited window, and run the plugin on all of *those* documents, without affecting any of the other documents open in other windows.

Hi all,
As a lot of us are getting used to tabbed windows in web browsers like Safari and Mozilla, it strikes me that a lot of users might want this same functionality in Finale -- that it may be faster to select windows by clicking on tabs then by going to the Window menu, or by cycling through windows with cmd-`. I personally would really like it if, when extracting parts, there was an open to "Open extracted parts in tabs." I like the idea of being able to have the score and a complete set of parts all contained in a tab-delimited single window.
(Obviously, you would want tabs to be an optional feature, as the same people who choose not to use tabs in their web browsers would probably prefer not to use them in Finale.)
