An issue that I think is highly relevant, but that only a few can probably comment on, is how the issue of voice handling in multi-part score systems -> parts compares to Sibelius's corresponding solution to the same problem. I believe someone said that Sibelius doesn't do it too well, but can't recall who. With all the caveats about what Finale's version 1 linked parts can't do, I think it would put things in perspective if someone with Sibelius experience could chime in telling us whether or not Sibelius's version 1 linked parts successfully solved the same problem. So far, it sounds to me like MakeMusic did an excellent job at implementing a first draft of this highly complex feature, whatever problems there may be for special situations (which still allow you to make your parts that don't work in the new system using the old way, by extracting to separate files). -- David W.
