Hi, David. Long time no see. You said:

You got it. You found all the workarounds I know, but the lack of
unlinkable smart shapes and special tools is a deal-breaker for
keeping parts and score in a single document file. (Note: you
mentioned note positioning, e.g., for grace notes, but the problem
extends to most other special tools edits. Think about ties and beam
angles as well.)

Personally, I think it is already really good. (I am talking about
having parts in one file and score in another.) Compared to the old
extracted parts it is light years better. It just isn't perfect.

FWIW: I went through this same exercise when Fin07 came out (with a
short piece for 3 players), and I'm sure many others did as well. I
believe we probably all came to our conclusions honestly. ;-)
