i think i have extracted parts maybe once since the (admittedly 
faulty) implementation of linked parts (F2007), but just had a quick 
look at the dialogue in 2010.  what is the issue you are having 
exactly?  i just tried this and it seems to work fine.

well, if there are such serious bugs as you mention they should also 
be checked and documented, and sent to MM.  i would encourage you to 
send the file to christopher for checking.

hein?!?! once the system is optimized you can remove any staff by 
selecting the lower handle at the start of the staff (staff tool) and 
"deleting" it (from appearing in the system).  despite my own 
criticisms of the programme i have never come across something that 
could not be resolved somehow in the file itself.  knife and ruler... 
sheesh, sounds so... 1980s.  notation in the dark ages, barbaric =-O

could you list a few more of these bugs?
