For this option to not hurt my work, it would have to have some sort of checker that I could run to hunt for items with this setting. It would be difficult enough for me to remember if I had enabled this setting for an object in one of my own scores several months after dealing with it. But for working on scores made by other people it would be a real problem. If the option was made available, I'd really hope that they'd also give us a command that could help us find each of these objects. It's one thing for a part to have something visible on it that shouldn't be there - this I have a good shot of spotting and correcting. It's another thing if it's something that's missing. Seriously though, there's a great amount of time to be saved by creating the linked parts at the time the score is initially created. We can begin our part editing while we're working on the score. There are many occasions that we can now move an object only once because of this rather than the multiple times we used to. Perhaps something that would benefit you would be to have a unique color for items which are unlinked in some parts but not all parts.
