Is it possible to do an Indiana Jones-like switcheroo, where I insert the part file I've been working on and laid out beautifully into the rough-cut part file that Finale wants to use when I go to select the part in question?
Keep in mind that when you extract parts in recent Finale versions, what happens is that Finale creates linked parts in the background and then extracts those parts to a file. In other words, an extracted part is exactly a snapshot of the linked part at the time of extraction.
If you've edited your extracted parts further, there is no automatic facility for getting those edits back into the score, although others have posted some helpful suggestions.
One more word of advice: Many people find that it's not always workable to have only one file with score and parts and everything, so we wind up with one "score" file and one "parts" file. If you're fixing wrong notes, you still have to fix them in two places, but you also have the advantages of linked parts if you need to make changes that affect all parts (like changing a movement title or changing font sizes for measure numbers or something like that).
