TG Tools Pro has Transfer... Layout for system breaks. You still have
to nudge everything you nudged in the part, though, and adjust
measure widths if you changed any.

Since I'm of the "old school" Finale users, having really cut my
teeth on
the program almost ten years ago, I never was used to the idea of
linked
parts, so I have continued doing the usual extraction method. I'm
starting to
regret this, especially as I didn't realize that this "unlinks"
the parts
from the score; I thought that "linked" parts meant "linked
extracted"
parts. I guess I need to read the directions a little more. Now
that I've
spent 30 minutes just making one pass to change of all things, the
title, I'm
really wanting my parts to be linked again.
Is it possible to do an Indiana Jones-like switcheroo, where I
insert the
part file I've been working on and laid out beautifully into the
rough-cut
part file that Finale wants to use when I go to select the part in
question?
I realize that for certain things I'll probably need to still use
some
part extraction, but with that being the exception rather than the
rule, I'll
even allow for some extra cleanup if it will save me some time
down the
road.
Conversely, if someone has a way I can literally cut-and-paste all the
layout changes I've made and can superimpose them on the part with
minimal
damage, that would be acceptable, too. I don't think this will
work where
I've exploded the parts into multiple staves, though, such as my
double wind
lines. But perhaps there's a plugin for that, too?
