Agreed. But this may be quite complicated... Say, I extract a guitar
part, add a TAB system, change the frettings... Or, worse, save it
under a new name...;-)
Not that I wouldn't like it, but I see some heavy and dangerous
programming coming up...

such. Or I find a faulty lyric in an extracted leadsheet. Wouldn't
it be nice if it was corrected in the full score, as well?
So - the best link, in my opinion, would be to have everything
linked - but not formatting and all things related. Maybe there
could be an option or a diologue box when saving it, as "would you
like to update your changes into the full score?"...
That would be great!
On the other hand, there may occasionally be changes you DO want
reflected in the score, even with layout issues. I would rather
have the ability to have any change in the parts be reflected in the
score, so that while working on a linked part each change would
popup a dialog asking if the change should: 1) be reflected in the
score; and 2) be reflected on all the other parts.
This would of course have to happen with each change, but would
enable minute control of what gets changed where. And I think it
should occur much more often than simply when saving a linked part.
Things like changing a note from one pitch to another pitch
obviously should be reflected in the score, but if (for whatever
reasons which we need not discuss now) you wish to change a pitch to
an enharmonic spelling, we may well not want that reflected in the score.
