you know, as soon i see the subject line "linked parts" i get shivers
and stomach cramps. before you do anything in your score:
1. complain about insufficient and incomplete implemention of the
linked parts feature to the powers-that-be (check the list archives
if you need clarifications for your ammo) and about the fact that
they have virtually never -- as is standard with new features --
corrected the fundamental errors in the first implementation;
2. read the manual pp. 37-5 and 37-7 i believe (F07 manual), i used
to have them tacked to my wall... but packed them away with the razor
blades several months ago;
3. make very strong coffee, no milk, no sugar, but possibly some
slivovice could be helpful;
4. read the manual again;
5. read the manual again;
6. attempt another run at it.
Yup it's a pain. Here's what I do (courtesy of jef chipewa!)
Use two different measure number regions, region 1 for the parts and
region 2 for the score. When you print the parts, set the range of
region 1 to be 1 to 999 and the range of region 2 to be 999 to 999.
Then when you print the score, switch the ranges manually.
kee-riced, did i really say that!?!
my last version was something similar (as i recall). define a region
"show every 5mm (or 10, as you wish) in boxes" that looks good in
score for all measures (1-999); define a region (or several as
needed, i have 1-99 and 100-xxx at different vertical heights) that
looks good on parts.
i'm just coming out of massive work in another area and so this is
really not fresh, but essentially you have to selectively delete /
force show in parts / score (page by page in score if i recall...).
sounds complicated, but once mastered, this approach works VERY VERY
well. i don't think it matter how many regions there are, since you
have to select / delete / force show / barf on individual pages.
happy happy.
