Here's how I'd base the decision for a time critical project: If the cues involve a lot of clef changes, experiment with it later - pretty much everything can be resolved, but you're going to need to make some more staff styles. If it's just a few clef changes, it should be manageable. If the cues involve a lot of partial measure stuff (where cues start or end part of the way into a measure that contains other notes the player will be playing), it could get a little thick to deal with. Again, the situations can be handled, but if you're in a hurry it might be best to wait. A good alternative approach would be to use Parts Score strategy, where you use a single file to house all of the parts, but you don't care what changes are made to the score. You'll learn a lot about how the linked parts feature works, and you'll benefit from many of the advantages. At the same time, you won't have to worry about anything unexpected happening while you get to know the feature. If time isn't an issue, you can go for using the linked parts as it was originally intended. There's not much in the way of things that have absolutely no workaround (I haven't seen anything yet), and at any point if it becomes too much of a hassle you can move to either the duplicate score strategy or to full extraction. Robert or other beta testers, would you agree with this as an acceptable overall strategy (I'm very familiar with linked parts, but I'm no engraver)? -Tyler __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
