Only because in this case I am choosing for them to be unlinked. They can be
linked, but then you may find that the contraints placed on you by that linkage
are more than you want to put up with.
My whole point is that *even if you can't tolerate the contraints* you can
still benefit from the feature. It is not a simple use/don't use choice.
And Tyler's point about protactively editing the score and the part at the same
time is well-taken. You could do this even if still chose to use a separate
file for every part. You really have to use it to see what the fuss is about.
FWIW: it is quite likely that if your score uses standard notation (e.g., no
beams over barlines), does not combine multiple parts onto one staff, or does
so in a simple homophonic way, that you can use the feature to its full extent
with fully linked score and parts. It will require a learning curve, but you
can do it.
The fact is, Fin07 will change your workflow no matter which way you choose to
work. It probably will have the biggest impact on your workflow of any release
in recent memory.
I am very much encouraged by all these remarks about Fin2007, especially
Robert's final statement above.
What I do notice is the lack of any "that old ______ bug has reared its
ugly head again!" remarks, or any complaints of any new work-destroying
bugs or other major problems.
Is this true? I am VERY encouraged by the lack of complaints!
