Re: [Finale] Parts Extraction Methodology

[Owain Sutton]

The only way I ever work is to get my score 100% correct in all ways, 
from basic layout to nitty-gritty proofreading to final tweaking.  Only 
when it's in a state I'd be happy to make it public do I extract parts. 
 Each one individually needs a lot of subsequent tweaking, but in the 
whole scheme of things it doesn't add much to the workload, but makes 
sure the final product is subjected to scrutiny at all stages.  Even if 
it were possible, I wouldn't want a change to the score to affect parts 
as well - I want to go in to the parts myself and make sure that the 
change works correctly, and doesn't cause other problems.

One hassle I have is that much of what I deal with is microtonal, which 
makes converting from a concert-pitch microtonal score to transposed 
instrument parts a real pain (when oh when oh when will the 'nonstandard 
key signature' business be replaced by something (anything) better? 
Would it really be that difficult for a quarter-tone system to be 
available as a preset?)
