I'm finding cues to be less & less of a problem. You basically need two staff 
styles. One that uses the new Alternate "Default Rest" Notation and hides 
everything else. Ane one that hides only the layer the cues are in. (I always 
use Layer 4.) Applying both in score view, you apply the former to full 
measures and the latter to partial measures to hide cues. (I still haven't 
fully thought through rest positioning in partial measures. That still probably 
presents something of a challenge.)

As for clef changes, Tyler suggested somewhere the perfect solution. Create a 
staff style that "tranposes" by forcing to clef without changing anything else. 
Applying it to the score view hides any clef changes in the cue. (Actually, any 
clef changes at all.)

As far as some magic tool for creating linked cues automatically, this seems 
even more unlikely than linked parts did. FWIW: I use TGTools to start cues, 
because it saves a great deal of initial re-entry time. Then I edit them to 
taste. It's a pain, yes, but I don't care about making cues as pretty as 
doubtless Johannes does.

I am not a fan of mirrors. In the early years they were responsible for 
horrific file corruption. Although they continue to be supported, it is an old 
feature that has not received much attention, so they don't work very well, 
especially with many new features. Whether MM views them this way or not, I 
view mirrors as deprecated.
