To be fair on the whole linked parts discussion, I recently got someone to do the parts to a piece and she did it the old way, i.e. extracting all the parts to separate files. It was extremely time-consuming putting the same fixes into each of the files separately. Quite a reminder of what we had to do before.
So I do think that on balance, frustrating limitations aside, the linked parts thing is still a positive thing and a good improvement in general. I wonder what the next version of Sibelius will bring in this area. The last version of Sibelius had a lot of improvements in playback etc. Perhaps the next version will have stuff for engravers and typesetters. The same for Finale of course.
