Chris, here we are talking about how Dynamic Parts are displayed (not
regular extracted parts). You should try the Sib demo to see the
difference between leaving this box checked or uncheked. This is a
feature Finale should steal *after they implement Dynamic Parts*.
I was comparing this in Finale to having the score in Scroll View
simultaneously open along with the Special Part Extraction version in
page view. OK, so you can't have the Special Part Extraction version
for Violin 1 open at the same time as the Special Part Extraction
version for Violin 2, without them being two different files.
But you HAD objected to the concept of having two different windows
open on the same file - why?
• An option to automatically check for maintenance updates.
Yes, it's true. That option is FOUR clicks away in Finale (and you
have to type in your user name and password, unless you have it set
to autofill). No reason why it can't be one click.
Um, what? Where is the option to have Finale automatically check for
maintenance upgrades? I don't think Finale can do this, no matter how
many clicks are involved. Am I missing something?
Automatically, no. You have to check for updates yourself, under
Help>Finale Updates Website, and the other three clicks are for
navigating the MakeMusic website.
