So it would still be possible to override things in each part if you desired to do so, and if a part were orphaned you would still be able to adjust everything, BUT you could make adjustments in the score to the layout of the parts (sort of like you can do now in Special Part Extraction, only that layout would be saved to be used again rather than being lost as it is now when you go back to looking at the whole score and readjust things from how you had them when you used SPE to look at or print a single part) and those adjustments would then be reflected in each extracted part when they were extracted AND each subsequent time you opened the extracted parts.
When I tried out Brian's part method yesterday, I was more than a little surprised (why, I ask myself now) that when you invoke Special Part Extraction that it DOESN'T use the page layout that you chose in Page Layout for Parts (it still uses the Page Layout for Score). I suppose that if we ever get linked parts, then we will have to have different settings available for EVERY part separately (or optionally linked.)
The way I used to accomplish this (in regular Extract Parts) is to extract all the parts that have the SAME page layout (most of the parts), then change the Page Format for Parts (for piano, chorus, harp, etc.) to what I want for the OTHER parts, and extract those. I guess I can still do that, but it might be nice to be able to set it and never worry about it again.
