Dear Johannes,
My respect for you and gratitude for your generous help - given to many of us
over years of participation on this list, and for the way you have shared your
meticulously worked out settings for ties etc., makes me want to take the time
to make sure that you understand that this particular issue is not simply one
of those that arises from my overlooking something obvious. (There have been a
few of those!)
Chuck,
as I said, I am not entirely sure whether the staff style problem can be
avoided without recreating parts. However, as far as mm rests go it is
simply not necessary - and it would be a disaster if it was.
All you need to do is select the whole part with the measure tool, and
update using "Create MM Rests".
This will not change any measure attributes, so if you have measure
attributes which will cause mm rests to be broken, you would have to
delete those first. However, recreating parts just to update the mm
rests is not a very good way to work imo, since any formatting done in
the parts up to this moment will also be lost.
I realize that in your particular case recreating parts is a good way to
do it, because you are working from pre-existing files as templates.
This, however, is also not a very desirable way to set up a score in the
first place, since a lot of junk collected in the source file will
survive, and be your baggage in the future. Problems like breaking mm
rests are the direct result of this, and not immediately connected to
linked parts as such. The same would happen if you extracted the parts
the old way.
Johannes
