I can confirm that I've encountered this same problem.  I was working on a lead sheet, got the C part done and created a part before copying and pasting it into the Bb and Eb staves.  After pasting into those staves, staff styles were out of whack, and all of the music was crammed into the first line of the parts with pasted material.  I had to manually move the music down the page, line by line, until I got the layout I wanted.  Also, I noticed that some chord symbols pasted with alterations omitted. 

I had forgotten that I've encountered that anomaly too.


It seems to me that it's best to wait until "everything" is entered into the score before generating the parts.

That's my experience, and again, MM confirms.  Then everything works correctly and frustration is avoided.

  I personally don't really need to see any parts until then anyway.  BTW, this was working in a template that I created in FinMac 2000, if that makes any difference.  I don't really want to abandon this template--I've done a lot of tweaking to get everything the way I want it.  It would be quite a chore to recreate it from scratch.

I acknowledge that my experience may not be universal.  I certainly hope no one else encounters it, but I assure you, I have paid attention to what's going on with this situation.  If my experience helps someone else avoid the frustration that this caused me, that will give me some satisfaction.
