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).
