Er, "part view" doesn't exist in Finale. > . . .

Well, that's a very difficult thing to accomplish, and if I were MakeMusic, I'd never implement it that way. What if you had the option to output the "part views" to separate files, once you had them tweaked sufficiently? At that point, the linkage would break, though, in both directions. > > Are you saying that you'd *never* want score-to-part > > updates, but *only* part-to-score updates? > > No of course not.

NO ONE was proposing only score-to-part linkage. -- David W.
