In reading another thread about parts extraction, it seems that
linked parts (if ever implemented) would *have* to link only some of
the elements.
No, actually, it should link everything, with the option to unlink
everything individually. From what I understand this is how Sibelius
does it for the most part.
It needs to be possible to eg move an expression only in the 2nd violin
part, while this doesn't move it globally. Ideally it should even be
possible to create ossias only in the parts etc.
However, while I agree that this requires some rather well thought out
design, I am sure it is possible. I just hope that if and when MM
decides to go this way (which I am certain will happen eventually) they
make sure that such fundamental design problems as they introduced with
the GPO wizard will not happen. With the GPO wizard this is relatively
easy to fix without compatibility problems. With linked parts a wrong
decision in the basic design might make the whole thing completely
useless with no hope of ever fixing it.
We'll see.
