Everything else (staff division, ametrical elements, etc.) is quite
possible in sibelius, and not that difficult at all, if done with
the proper planning. Of course, dynamic parts with this material
aren't possible here (as I guess they aren't possible in finale as
well)
dennis, i have an even better solution now, and it also can be used
with linked parts.
1st system - all instruments + 1st staves of fl-vln solos (one
measure with graphic barlines), then all following systems
overlapping the ensemble system (with hidden staves), and EVERYTHING
optimized out except the current solo line:
S2 fl solo with DEFINED meters, and as of here you can use the
spacing inherent to finale.
S3 fl solo
[...]
S2 vln solo
S3 vln solo
[...]
(the 1st measure of the 2nd system of the violin comes immediately
after the last measure of the flute solo in the finale file)
in the parts, enter hidden real whole rests in all measures of the
solo and apply hide barlines staff style; change measure widths for
all "solo measures" to 25 (or less) and write FLUTE/VIOLIN SOLO at
the start of the solos. in the flute part, set all the extra violin
solo measure widths to 0; sim for vln.
something similar may also be possible in sibelius, but i guess there
is some limitation to the overlap (don't quite understand what it is
or how much it woud affect this solution)
