I basically use special part extract to prepare a general format before
I go to extract the final versions of the parts. Of course I don't do
this with my original score file but with a duplicate of it. In the
Special Part Extract I can see and adjust any items which may need to
be changed, such as general tempo markings which might be in large
point size for the score and need to be resized to a smaller size for
the parts. I can also check if all my multi-measure breaks are entered
(less of a problem then it used to be).
So Special Part Extract serves as a preview of the look my parts will
have once I do a real extract.

Hi all-
believe it or not (!) after all these years I've never used special
parts
extraction, and I have a question......
on FinWin2003.........
I have a very lengthy Requiem Mass for which I've created the
conductor's
score. I now need to create a vocal score that only uses the voice and
keyboard staves. (In the past most full orch scores from which I
created a
vocal score were relatively short. This is an eight-movement work -
separate
files - that I don't really want to go from scratch with by deleting
staves
and reformatting everything.)
If I use special part extraction will all the page formatting, where
lyric
baselines, nudged staves, measures per system, etc., are concerned, be
retained?
Thanks in advance for saving me the headache and time of possibly
doing it
with results I don't want!

I haven't used Special Part Extraction in years because when I did use
it, whatever changes to layout that I made to the special parts which
were showing was also made to the full score, and it took me far too
long to redo the score to what I wanted it to be.
These days I simply extract the parts I want using the normal part
extraction.
If you want the vocal parts and the keyboard staves, define a group
which includes them all (it will, I believe, also include any
intervening staves as well) and then run the extract parts dialog,
specifying only that group for extraction.
Then open the extracted file and delete any unnecessary staves which
had
to be included in the group and then get things set up as you want for
the vocal score.
Perhaps others will chime in with how silly my method is, but it works
for me and it might work for you.
Then again, perhaps others will chime in with even better methods which
we can both learn from!
