I have always felt that the easiest way for Finale to get "linked
parts" (I hesitate to use that expression, since it seems tied into
the in my opinion erroneous idea that the parts should be in separate
files, linked back to a score file) was to fix special part
extraction so that the layout changes for each part were stored as
deltas from the score layout.
That was the argument that won me over.
It'll be
interesting to see how the new mid-measure repeats business works and
whether or not it will adjust the measure numbers appropriately.
Isn't it just implemented as a plug-in?
Is there a problem with that? Plugins seem to be a good way to go, as
they don't take up CPU cycles when you are using the program
"normally". This is what I like about the TG Tools lyric plugins, for
example, over Finale's auto-word extensions.
If you add a new region, when you create it, it appears to inherit
all the settings of the previous region you were working on, but,
instead, it just doesn't update the display. When you close the
dialog, you find that it's actually inherited the default settings
for measure number formatting. Second, there are problems with the
measure-number display that I haven't quite traced down. It takes two
or three trips to the region editing dialog before the numbers start
actually displaying what you've told them to
Command-D (control D on the PC) to redraw usually takes care of it for
me.
