Hey,
Nobody knows how to do this? I distinctly remember a previous
discussion on this topic. I just don't remember the solution, and the
official archives for this list are useless.
Cheers,

Hi Chris,
There are several issues:
1) The cues are naturally hidden in the score, using the "Blank
Notation with Rests" staff style. But remember, we're talking about
linked parts, so I'm trying -- as much as is practical -- to use
the same file for both score and parts, and so the cue notes must
can't be deleted from the score -- only hidden.
But that's fine -- the score is not the problem here. It's the
voiced parts that are the problem.
2) The usual settings for dealing with voiced parts -- i.e., you
have Horn 1/2 on the same staff in the score, but separate staves
in the linked parts -- are for Horn 1, to use "Selected Notes from
One or More Layers" -- "First Note From The Top" -- and "In
Measures Containing Multiple Layers, Show Display Layer 1". (For
Horn 2, it would be "First Note From the Bottom" and "In Measures
Containing Multiple Layers, Show Display Layer 2").
This works fine for most situations. You still have to use the
"Blank Notation With Rests" staff style to hide Horn 1 notes in the
Horn 2 part (and then recalculate your MM rests), and certain
things like Patterson Beams and TGTools parenthesized trill notes
don't work on the voiced parts, etc. but it's mostly workable.
BUT...
3) When you start editing the parts, in order to get the cue notes
to show, you need to remove the "Blank Notation With Rest" Staff
Style from the part. (This does not affect the score). In non-
voiced parts, this is easy. In voiced parts, however, the cue notes
won't show up even after deleting the staff style if you have notes
or real rests in a different layer, in the same measure as the cue
notes. Remember, Horn 1 is set to *only* display Layer 1 in
measures containing multiple layers. So if you have real whole
rests, for instance, the cue notes won't show up. Okay, so you just
delete the real whole rest and put in a fake whole rest as a staff
expression, then hide it everywhere except that one part. Easy.
EXCEPT...
4) What do you do when you have cue notes in the same measure as
real notes? You obviously can't just delete the real notes. It's
impractical to enter the real notes or cue notes as expressions. If
you try to put the cue notes in Voice 2 of Layer 1, it plays havok
with the distribution of the linked parts.

A ways back, there was some discussion of how to handle voiced

could kindly remind me what the workaround for this is?
Sorry I don't remember the discussion, but it would surprise me to
have cues on a score. Normally, that sort of thing is just on the
extracted instrument parts, which of course avoids the whole
problem, assuming you are preparing separate Horn 1 and Horn 2 parts.
But maybe I don't understand the problem. Even with two notes on
the same staff, what is the issue if there is a cue note in
another layer? Collisions? Octave changes to avoid collisions or
crowding are common in the cues I see in orchestral parts.
