Yes, it's possible, but I can tell you I sure wouldn't want to do it! You can set staves to have an independent notehead font, you can import another set of articulations (and re-assign all the metatools for them), you can set different regions for bar numbers, you can set different staff lists for different rehearsal letters, you might have to hide time and key sigs and then add them in as expressions, oy, the list goes on!
What might be a better idea is for you to do the score in the Handwritten Style, then copy everything to a new Engraved Style document to create the parts. Many things will change automatically (key and time sigs, noteheads, measure numbers, etc.) and you can convert any expressions to the engraved style fonts using the Font Utilities. YOu might have some surgery to do on Smart Shapes as well. Only the conductor will see the score as all handwritten, while the orchestra musicians would get the parts from the new file.
