One other thing I noticed -- Setup Wizard ignores the "Distance From
Top" value in Page Format for Score. The Distance from Top is always
zero. You can get around that by using First Page Top Margin instead,
but it's not ideal behavior.

FYI, here's a copy of the bug report I just sent:
Using the Setup Wizard causes the Page Format for Parts information
from the Maestro Font Default to be overwritten with the left
margin from "pagesizes.txt", even on extracted parts. The result is
that there is a 1" left margin on the parts, which is not by design.
Steps:
1) Open "Maestro Font Default". Look at the Page Format for Parts
settings. Note that the left margin is set to 0.5" by default.
2) Now the Setup Wizard to create a multi-system score -- for
instance, a brass quintet. The left margin for the score is 1",
because that's what is specified in "pagesizes.txt". So far, so good.
3) Now, extract a part from this score -- say, the Trumpet 1 part.
Break the multimeasure rest and update layout. Note that the left
margin for the extracted part is 1", but the right margin is 0.5"
-- making the part completely lopsided.
4) If you go back and check the Page Format for Parts setting in
"score.mus", you will see that both score and parts have been set
to use a 1" left margin. This is wrong. When using the Setup
Wizard, "pagesizes.txt" should only affect the Page Format for
Score -- it should leave the Page Format for Parts from the Maestro
Font Default alone.

If anyone feels like navigating MakeMusic's horrendous Customer
Support web form in order to send a "yes, I agree, please fix"
submission, that would be great.
