That's right, but if the parts are included in (and linked to) the
score, when that score gets changed to the condensed score, the parts
linked to any deleted staves would be deleted as well, I would think.
That's the way linking works in other programs -- if the source is
altered or eliminated the result of the link is altered or eliminated, too.
Currently, I can create a full score, extract the parts, then change the
full score, secure in the knowledge that the parts will remain as they
are unless I edit each one individually (and intentionally.)
Somewhere along the way in this discussion the ability to save extracted
parts to individual files was added to the concept, and as long as this
option is included, then my objection is overcome. As long as the
resulting files are not linked in any manner.

How are expressions specified Score/Parts? What have I missed?
Currently when I assign an expression I can assign it to specific staves
if I wish (as note attached expressions) or I can assign it to the
entire score, and I can have measure-attached expressions show in the
individual staves according to settings in the Staff Tool, but I don't
see how I can specify an expression to appear ONLY in the parts or ONLY
in the score? And any measure expression I choose to assign to THIS
STAFF ONLY will always appear in that particular staff unless I delete
it or turn off the display of measure expressions altogether.
Again with text blocks, I can have ALL text blocks on specific pages be
stripped when I extract parts, but I can't leave specific text blocks
showing in the parts while omitting others.
I am sure that it would be possible to add score/parts options to any of
the assignment dialogs for either expressions or text blocks, but I
don't see how that happens now.
