Ha! Dead simple, once I know what I'm doing! Darcy, you are the man!
I had used the Manage Parts dialogue settings Darcy had mentioned,
but I hadn't realised I needed to apply Blank Notation with Rests to
get the results I needed when there was a solo. I was able to easily
hide the "I." expression in the first part that had to show up in the
score.
Thanks to Robert P as well, but with Darcy's Staff Styles solution, I
didn't have to plan much at all. Now that I have gotten comfortable
with it, I see many advantages to having Staff Styles different in
the parts than the score.
This was my first time with voiced parts and I must say, I am
suitably impressed!
The only thing is they are a bit fussy to set up, especially if I
have a lot of them, as I did with this score. It would be nice if the
dialogue box remembered my last settings.
I notice that the default part settings seem to be nicer in the 2008a
update. Not much to dick with there.
I'm flyin'!

(I'll be checking for some of the other bugs that had been preventing
me before from using 2008 once this project is over. So far, so good,
and I haven't run into any file corruption yet, but the week is still
young!)

Hi Chris,
1) To hide the Clar. 1 solo in the Clar. 2 part, apply the "Blank
Notation With Rests" staff style in in the Clar. 2 part, then
update the multimeasure rests. (Since your score was created in
Fin2003, you will need to create this staff style from scratch, or
load it as a library.)
As for the Manage Parts dialog, the settings you want are "Selected
Notes from One or More Layers," and then "Top Note" and/or "Layer
1" for Clar. 1; "Bottom Note" and/or "Layer 2" for Clar. 2. This
gives you the results you want -- Clar. 2 will inherit the bottom
note of all dyads *or* Layer 2 when there are multiple layers.
Just be careful of cue notes -- you cannot have cue notes (in, say,
Layer 4) in the same measure as real notes using this method.
2) Group names are automatically unlinked. Just to the Harp part,
switch to Scroll View, and edit the group attributes to not show
the group name. (It will still display in the score.)
Cheers,
- Darcy

Okay, I'm back to FinMac 2008a now, confident that the bugs that
prevented me from doing useful work are now eliminated.
However a couple of things have cropped up that I don't remember
seeing before (how can this be?)
I have a score created in 2003 that I am updating in 2008a. In the
Manage Parts dialogue I created the parts all at once, no problem.
I even created voiced parts (Clar 1 and 2 on one staff in the
score become separate parts) though I had to do them one at a time
(any easier way to do that in a bunch?) and I couldn't leave a
Clar 1 solo off the the Clar 2 part. I see that if I had Clar 1
entirely and alone in Layer 1, with Clar 2 entirely and alone in
Layer 2, then I could do it, but I often have them sharing stems
in the same layer. So am I out of luck?
Also I have a harp part. The harp group name shows up on the
linked part beside every system. Any way to hide that only in the
linked part?
Thanks in advance.
Christopher
(The enharmonic flip bug in Speedy seems to be gone, AFAICT. Whee!)
