David, I have not experienced linked parts yet. The descriptions i see here, however, leave me wondering what I'm missing. Can you enlighten me as to their benefit? I'm not sure I see the benefit of having an ex-post change made to a PART be reflected in the SCORE. Some changes in parts I would NOT want reflected in a score. Is this feature intelligent enough to sort that out?
Composer's Mosaic from MOTU (no longer supported as far as I know) has had linked parts from day one, along with the ability (indeed, the requirement!) to customize the layout of each part (which can be done at least in part using templates). It is NOT intelligent in any way, and a mistake entered in either score or parts is instantly reflected in the other. That simply means that the engraver has to be intelligent! I agree 100% that the ability to control what is linked and what is not in both directions is essential in any Finale implementation.
