I'm not sure what kind of problems you were having, but once you
extract parts to separate documents (as opposed to just creating
linked parts within your score), those parts are no longer in any way
"connected" to the original source document. Doing an additional
"Save As" does not change this. Linked parts are only linked when
they're still contained within the score file.

I don't understand this comment. Extract Parts works just the way it
always has. It's true that it does make you *generate* linked parts
in the score before you can extract parts, but you don't need to
actually *use* those linked parts. If you don't like linked parts, or
if you don't have time to figure out new ways of using them, then you
can basically ignore them. Just extract parts to separate files the
way you always have.
