How was this superior to the new Part Name text insert? The old feature placed
exactly one title on the first page of the part. And you had little control of
its format or placement. The new feature allows you to have as many titles as
you need, with the exact fonts and size you need. And it seems like you only
need to set it up once, unless I'm missing something.
The problem is that it used to be fully automatic: nothing in the score,
but a text block in the part. Now I have a textblock which I have to
manually make invisible only in the score, after I have generated all
the parts. If I make it invisible earlier, I run the risk of forgetting
to make it visible in the parts.
The problem is that most publishers do want text blocks that say the
part name, but the do not want any text blocks that say "Score" or
"Partitur" in the score. I still don't quite understand why this
limitation was necessary. I would have wished for text blocks which can
be set up _in the default file_ to show only in the parts, but not in
the score (and vice versa). This would have provided a lot of flexibility.
I might have found a work around. Not ideal perhaps, but at least as
functional as the old way, by entering nothing in the FileInfo field for
the score name.
