One big disadvantage (for me, at least):
"Display active layer only" makes it very easy to copy material from
one layer only to another staff, etc. This is not possible when using
voices.

Does anyone else use voices instead of layers in most single-bar
rhythmically-independent divisi situations?
The advantages of voices over layers are:
1) common rests remain centered in the measure
2) independent rests can be placed on-the-fly depending on where
the cursor
is when you launch the second voice
3) ties, slurs and articulations behave the same way they do in layers
With these advantages, I'm surprised at how many Finale users
prefer to use
layers when they could be using voices -- which are way more
efficient in
most divisi situations (especially in percussion and drum parts).
