Thanks Robert. That Collapse style is what I was trying to recall since I've never used it before. Alas, none of the combinations I tried in the score really worked to my satisfaction. Hide and collapse in score only was close, but when I have situations where a cue is in a measure that's the first measure or two of a system, it creates a very unwanted effect. Relaying out the score is not an option I want to explore.
So I'm left with maintaining two scores. You'd think MM would have been on this by now. What, we've had linked parts for 5+ years now?
