Thanks Darcy for the tips for multimeasure rests and optimization of linked
parts. That really helped.

Doesn't that kind of negate the whole reason for having linked parts in the
first place? I thought the whole point is that if you change something in
the score -- especially something as major as deleting or adding measures
(which happens a lot in choreography cues) -- the parts are automatically
updated to include the changes. If you have to create a separate "parts"
document, then you'll have to make the changes in multiple documents, making
the linked parts feature much less useful.

In large orchestral scores, I typically have large boxed measure numbers
only displayed between the woodwinds and the brass and between the
percussion and the strings. What I would need is the ability to create a
large-font boxed measure number region that only displays below certain
staves of the score, and another small-font region for parts that would
display on the bottom staff of every part. Maybe this could be done by
enabling measure number regions to use staff lists.
