This is a much bigger advantage than you credit it for. Working from one file allows you to a) switch instantly between part views (much faster than opening/saving/closing separate files). b) work in score view to update several parts at once. For example, if you are changing a 'B' to a 'C', if you have several parts playing the same thing, you can copy/paste much more quickly because it is all within one file. c) make global changes once. This is anything from changing the title of the piece to inserting or deleting measures. You may think of it as "only" a small advantage, but I see it as a huge advantage over what we have now. MM would like you to believe that you can keep you score and parts in one file, and they have made great strides in that direction. For many projects it probably is possible. All I'm saying is that even those projects for which it is not possible can still benefit from the linked parts features. Most of mine probably fall in the latter category. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
