My shock at the new parts management window in Fin2K7 led me to a series of gaffs the first time I used it, so here is what I would suggest to get the deisred result. I had used the Extract parts feature, and in doing so used the Create Parts feature. When I got to the folder where I had directed the new parts to go to, I opened them and started doing layouts, page turns, etc. and all kinds of wierd behaviours occured trying to get them to do what I wanted, and eventually I did a Save As to the document to disconnect it(!) from the source doc. Then I could do whatever I wanted and get what I wanted. I ended us going to the Score Page Setup (which was now the place to make the global changes since this was now a stand alone doc) reformatted the frigging thing, Redefined all pages, and started from scratch to lay out the parts. It was a mess, and for the first time in 30 years of copying I had to call a client and tell them I wasn't going to be able to put music on their bandstand for the gig that night. I realize that my lack of familiarity with the new feature caused problems i could have avoided, but repeat visits to the documentation, user input, and forum comments have convinced me that this is a failed feature that has added more work to the task that I had mastered. I still have yet to get the down and dirty, but efficient, Extract Parts to... process back so I can move fast and productively with it. That, coupled with the playback issues (using Garritan/Konktakt2) have precluded my use of the UP(?)grade, and I'm wailing on Finale 2K6 with no issues except the time I wasted futzing with 2K7.
