And since Robert's Copyists Helper doesn't fully support linked parts (MM's fault, not his), you lose the ability to have the *current* instrument name displayed in the page header -- i.e., for a part that begins on flute but switches to soprano sax in the middle of page 2, you would want "MY BRILLIANT CHART - Reed 1 (Fl.) p.2", but then "MY BRILLIANT CHART - Reed 2 (S. Sx.) p.3".

The last example is interesting, but something I would probably never do. "Reed 1" identifies the part (did you really intend to mix Reed 1 and Reed 2 in the same part?). For a reminder I would just put the instrument name in parentheses at the top of the page, since I might have several instrument changes on any given page.
