Well, that's what I meant. The MM rests were created automatically.
You didn't have to do anything about them, once the part extraction
system was set up. It's not such a big deal. It only takes a couple
of seconds to create those rests in each part in the new system, but
they were already there, and correct, as long as you had set up the
measure attributes in the score the way you wanted them in the old
system
Anyway, I am not trying to be critical of the new system, or
difficult. I'm just trying to learn it, and I'm grateful for your help.
I can see many advantages in it in the long run.
I am also beginning to understand that one must be careful what one
asks for, in that some useful things can go away when new ones
replace them. For instance, as good a system as I think this will be
for many kinds of music, and many editing circumstances, it takes
much longer to format a set of parts this way, if the music you are
working on is mostly concerted - where many instruments have similar
entrances and exits (like conventional big band music). In that
case, the method of formatting a lead part, saving it as a second,
third and fourth part, emptying those parts and refilling with the
appropriate entries saves a lot of time.
As far as my experience with 2007 goes, the most important real bug
(assuming that it's not just I who experience this)
is the failure of the Document Options library to retain the font
selections.

Sorry about that misunderstanding - MM rest creation simply worked
behind the scenes in the earlier versions, and that made me think
that this "selection" had existed. Wrong about that.
How do you mean, behind the scenes? It worked exactly once, when
you extracted parts. After that, if you changed anything, you had
to use the measure tool to recalc them (ie "create" them again).
No behind the scenes as far as I can see.
