Carl, I have been using 2012 for months without problems (except for an issue with Lion compatibility for the paste multiple keyboard shortcut). I no longer extract separate parts, so that may explain my ignorance of those problems. Piano parts arrive by default with "Hide Normally" deselected, and you have to change that in group attributes in order to be able to hide a staff in the part. The app downloaded online without trouble for me.
It's not that I doubt that there may be problems, but I want to weigh in in order that jef get another point of view.
