While obviously not ideal from a user's perspective, blocking plug-ins from being run while in a linked part is a fairly effective means of protecting the majority of users.
Perhaps it is fairly effective for the majority of users. I doubt if it will be very effective for the majority of those users who use plugins.
I can count on one hand the number of plugins that add staves, including one of mine. It is the simplest change in the world to modify those plugins to hit the "Score" menu item to force the file into score view before executing. I submit that this would have been no more difficult to implement and far more effective at preventing the problem. (And since I could do it, it obviously didn't require any PDK changes.)
The current implementation is an annoying barrier yet utterly ineffectual at preventing the problem. I hope MM gets trounced for it. As far as I can tell, they consulted no one outside the company before making this fool's choice.
