Linked Parts

• Nov 20, 2017 - 21:54

The linked part feature available now is great, but I think it could benefit from a few more features.

The first is linking multiple parts to the same line in the full score. For example, horns 1, 2, 3, and 4 are often written in the same line on a score with horns 5, 6, 7, and 8 on a second line in the score. Each set of notes is labelled according to which horn is playing. My suggestion is to have horns 1, 2, 3, and 4 (and whatever other instruments, this is just the most complex example) each have there own parts but show up on the same line in the full score.

The second suggestion kinda follows the first. a2 and a4 markings would be useful in this situation. For tutti sections, the composer could simply drag and drop these markings into the score and the entire set of notes would be updated in all parts that are linked to the same line in the score. When the tutti section is over, the composer can drag and drop a divisi (or a 1 or a 3 or whatever) that would update the parts accordingly.
