Part Extraction is the very last thing I do. Before I do this, I duplicate my score file, and prepare the duplicate for part extraction only. This includes cue notes, special text blocks, changes in the page layout, whatever I need. Only then do I extract parts.
Changes to the score, which at that stage should only be error corrections, have to be done in the parts as well.
If there are larger changes it is often easier to re-extract.
I don't think Special Part Extraction has much value for anything that has more than one part which needs to be extracted. I never use it.

My long time gripe: Finale offers 3 ways of creating parts, but none of which is convenient as dead MOTU Mosaic was. Finale encourages to create separate extracted part files for best results, but it does not offer dynamic file link for future editing. My first question is that if there is a feature I am missing here.
Basically I have been doing parts with Special Parts Extraction, but this is also hardly convenient since you have to re-space every single part, or compromised spacing with groups of parts, yet you can't save the changes. If you group similar parts then save separately, it also prohibits future editing. I do not wish to play same arrangement for live shows, and that's why I bought computer based notation system back in 1987.
How are you dealing with this? Thanks in advance.
