Master Palette -> Symbols : What is the purpose of the check box 'System flag'
In the Master palette -> Symbols It is a check box named 'System flag'
I do not see any effect of checking or unchecking the box.
Tried in 3.0.5 but also in 2.3.2
Also not find info in the Hanbook v3 and v2
What is the purpose of this check box ?
Thanks in advance

Makes a difference when extracting parts, elements with system glag are (or should be) extracted to all parts, those without on to those parts they are attached to

Thanks for your clear answer Jojo.
So if I understand well, When selecting a symbol, I check the box System flag, when inserting the symbol in the score the System flag will be set for that symbol and could be extracted to all parts. That's correct ?
Would be nice to have this in the handbook, I will try to add, but my poor English...

That is what I believe it should do, but it seems it does not.

I've commented it out, for now, as it doesn't work. May well be a bug, ot a missunderstanding what it should be doing
See also #49001: Adding system-flag to text does not affect linked parts (or move text to top staff in score) and #95416: Dynamics not saved for staff other than top if system flag set and maybe #282236: Custom text ignores system flag when imported into 3.x
