Well, yes, I think that's implicit in Darcy's suggestion. The rest of
it has to do with what happens *after* that, allowing you to have a
different format for parts than for score (or different formats for
different parts -- I use different settings for piano parts than for
other instruments, e.g.) or to change spacing in the part without
having it affect the score.

I think that's also implicit in Darcy's post, and it's also how
Sibelius does things. You also have the option of changing certain
things (note spacing, expression positioning, etc.) in the parts and
having them *not* affect the score.
