Well, something must be wrong with my system. I'm not getting context
menus for ANY object now. I'm pretty sure that existed when I installed
F2009. The latest thing I did was install the Garritan JABB library. I
guess I'll have to reinstall Finale.
If I select one of these separator marks, there is nothing like
hide/show or link/inlink in the text menu and there is no menu displayed
if I right-click on the separator's handle. I don't find link/unlink or
hide/unhide in any menu when I have the handle selected.

Hi Craig,
Hide/show and link/unlink are both options in the contextual menu.
And I wasn't chastising you for not having already read the section on
linked parts, merely recommending that you do so. Really. There are
many aspects of linked parts behavior that can be non-intuitive at
first, but the manual does an excellent job of explaining how things
work and why they work that way. Your question is the same question
everyone has when they first start using linked parts, including me.
Then I actually read the documentation (something I haven't done much
of since Finale 3.0), and all became clear.
Cheers,

Well, the documentation is, what, about 10,000 pages? The linked

would have been looking with futility in the text tool book.
At some point, I think it is fair put some responsibility on the
software designers. If there is a property that hides or shows a
text object on a linked part, that property should be accessible in
the context menu (right click), as would be the case with any
properly designed Windows application.
