I think this is a good idea. It would be nice if we could select a region of a part with Mass Edit, then apply a command "Change score to match part".

Remember the old adage "be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it."

You're thinking of a very small number of things that you actually want to match between score and parts.

Things you DON'T want to match necessarily:

Page layout:
        systems per page
        bars per system
        system margins
        page reduction
        system reduction
        staff reduction

Other things:
        Cues
        Conductor-only text blocks
        Performer-only text blocks
        Text size for lyrics

I'm sure there are other things which would create total havoc with a score if they matched the parts.

Perhaps coming up with a fixed list of exactly what items you would want to match exactly between score and parts which you could apply such a command to after editing a part might be a better idea.
