I'm afraid to say that Sibelius has spoilt me for that one (+ you can edit the other pages directly). It keeps going back to a single page view everytime I make edits which involve moving measures around the systems.
It's always surprised me that it's not possible to directly edit the subsidiary pages under this arrangement. Sort of make it close to useless. As much as I dislike Sibelius' way of working in this regard, it still would be a good option to have - but only after the application gets much much faster. > I would like to see a lot more options under the preferences, for example the mass mover settings. I rarely require these to be set to 'Move Everythying" as you end up with score expressions and double bar lines all over the place so I need to immediately select my options under the two menu choices each time I fire up Finale and hardly ever change them. I'd like to be able to save these settings under prefs. I have written to Coda many times but I guess I'm in a minority. Mass Mover Sets (able to be saved and loaded to a library or Finalescript) would be really handy. I've been asking for this for four years, so maybe we're together in that minority. I suppose that this also brings up the issue of the number of users requesting features to be implemented. A while ago on the Finale forums the Makemusic people said that the more people request a feature, the more likely they are to implement it. I just hope that they also have a dedicated set of regular power users whom they consult regularly for feedback. The majority of users might not currently think about a feature possibilities such as Mass Mover Sets, but I bet if they were available, and presented in a user friendly way in the application (perhaps as a side menu or something), then the majority of users would find it fantastic. I personally can't complain, as a lot of suggestions sent it to Makemusic have actually made it into the application, but it would be nice to be reassured that Makemusic are also actively searching out user feedback.
