Yes. This is one of the great failures of all notation programs ... someone correct me if I'm wrong and this has changed, but I do not believe any notation program has the true concept of a part. There are layers that make entering four horns easier, but a true part does not exist -- where, for example, "a2" and "1." are properly interpreted, thus allowing the separation of the the staff into correct parts. To answer your question just a little: I use layers to enter different parts on a single staff. Where the notes are the same, I do not enter anything into the other layer. For solo sections for second horn, for example, I use the second layer. It is just about adequate. In such cases, I find it easier to extract parts by hand, exploding the staff and entering corrections by comparing it with the unexploded staff. Others? I wish Finale could tag true parts and have it follow them through.
