Finale Usage TipAnd another flaw - Version: 2009b.r3, 9/26/2009 10:11PM PST

Not so much a bug so much a a missing critical feature. When doing multiple parts in a single stave in the score and breaking it out into separate parts in the linked parts, there doesn't appear to be any per-part control over the position of rests. This means that if you need to modify the default position of the rest to avoid a collision with the other part in the score, you'll end up with the rest in entirely the wrong place in the linked part. In short, you merely have a choice about which version looks bad.

1. When doing part splits from one staff into multiple separate parts, there's no way to specify that you want things from two layers. So you can't specify that you want layer 1 and layer 3 (cue notes) together in one part. Instead, you have to clumsily hide layer 2. Woe be unto anyone who has more than one set of cue notes for the different parts in such a stave.

2. When doing part splits from one staff into multiple separate parts, there's no way to specify what "note-attached" symbols to include from other staves. The last thing I want is multiple copies of dynamics, one per part, but this means I have to hide every other symbol that IS layer-specific. There's just not enough granularity.

3. When using linked parts, measure width changes to multimeasure rests go away as soon as you switch to another part and switch back. This makes it VERY clumsy to deal with any long text expressions such as "March Tempo (q = 60 M.M.)" or whatever.
