And much more basic: as Robert remarked it is absolutely essential to have separate spacing for each part. The way that Finale's spacing works I fear that this might indeed make the "one file, different views" approach incredibly complicated, as the data will have to be separated into "global" and "part" data, and in fact every element has to be effectively both, with individual decision on what is global and what isn't.

And I point out yet again that Mosaic has had this ever since it repaced the late and unlamented Professional Composer in about 1992, so it must not be all that incredibly complicated! Everything--galley, score and parts--is part of a single file, but spacing and other paramenters can be set up differently for each separate part, something obviously necessary for optimal page turns, without affecting the score. In fact the score itself is just another independent page view with its own layout.
