I've always felt that the key to a sensible implementation of cue

But nobody uses that because it's all bollixed up and doesn't really
work.
If they fixed that, it would give you a lot of what you desire with
linked cue notes. If they then added conditional display to mirrors,
or the ability to apply a staff style that displayed mirrors in part
view but not in score view, then you'd have what you want.
But I wouldn't hold my breath.
I do actually use the mirror feature. It works, but parts of the
interface is pretty dreadful. The only other complaint I have is that
Finale pops up a warning about mirrors not being converted properly when
extracting parts _after_ it has done all the extracting. a) I can't
understand why it doesn't pop up the warning _before_ it goes about
extracting all the parts, and b) I don't understand why they never fixed
this shortcoming in the first place.
I agree that the mirror tool would be a very good way to implement cue
notes, if it was improved slightly.
