The thing they should work on is linking parts to a score. It's a pain in the ass to work on something, and have to remember to change the score and other parts. It would be great to have them linked (if you wanted) to a score, so, a change in a part would be reflected in the score, and vice ve

2004-06-03 Thread Arkady
