The main time consumer for me has to do with how long each part

figure out) to use one part as a template for another similar one.
I went back and reviewed the old thread on this topic. It seems
Finale 2007
provides an superior way to do this, but not while retaining
linked parts.
The technique is to create one linked part, then substitute one
staff for
another in that linked part. (Make sure "Space System Evenly" is
turned off
in the Part Creation Options.) You get the new staff, but all the
page
formatting, spacing, etc. is preserved. You then save off each
copy in a
different file.
Hey Robert,
That's actually a very clever solution. It's quite similar to the
old "special part extraction" method, and and it beats the pants
off of pasting into separate files (which always makes me extremely
nervous).
Why, Darcy? I've done this forever with no untoward incidents.
And Robert, If MM ever makes it possible to create the plug in you
describe, I believe I will be only one of many grateful customers.
Chuck
