If that's true, I sure don't understand why Finale Tech Support didn't tell me that when I asked them for help. So, if I understand correctly, when I go to extract parts, (assuming I have already defined the setup for parts), it will create linked parts, which I should choose NOT to use??? What "Parts" do I open, proof and adjust for layout, print, etc. Where do they get extracted to? (Their Parts Management window is somewhat confusing; this reminds me of the old days of the Macintosh Font/DA Mover). Also, when I tried this before, the Piano staff (2 staves, grand staff) got split into 2 files, and MM told me to create a new part by selecting both staves. Sorry if I'm appearing to be very dim on this issue, but it has become a much more convoluted process that it was in Fin2K6.
