Not layout per se, but certain things like the size of measure numbers
(or measure-expression rehearsal letters/numbers) or the inclusion of
measure number regions to be displayed on staves can be solved this
way. Most of the work I do requires all measure numbers to be
displayed on the parts, so I change the Staff Attributes to display
measure numbers on all staves of the Parts score before I extract.
This same work also calls for fixed point sizes for rehearsal numbers,
so I have to manually enlarge them instead of allowing them to be
proportionally resized in the extraction process.

Once I extract the parts I can safely ignore the Parts score and work
from then on with just the original score when making corrections and
changes. However, creating a separate score just for extraction has
always made things much easier.
