When I print parts, I often do some reformatting I would NOT like in the

it would be very nice to have them automatically corrected in the score,
as well. Also, added articulations and such. Or I find a faulty lyric in
an extracted leadsheet. Wouldn't it be nice if it was corrected in the
full score, as well?
So - the best link, in my opinion, would be to have everything linked -
but not formatting and all things related. Maybe there could be an
option or a diologue box when saving it, as "would you like to update
your changes into the full score?"...
That would be great!
On the other hand, there may occasionally be changes you DO want
reflected in the score, even with layout issues. I would rather have
the ability to have any change in the parts be reflected in the score,
so that while working on a linked part each change would popup a dialog
asking if the change should: 1) be reflected in the score; and 2) be
reflected on all the other parts.
This would of course have to happen with each change, but would enable
minute control of what gets changed where. And I think it should occur
much more often than simply when saving a linked part.
Things like changing a note from one pitch to another pitch obviously
should be reflected in the score, but if (for whatever reasons which we
need not discuss now) you wish to change a pitch to an enharmonic
spelling, we may well not want that reflected in the score.
