-
Have a time signature in a full ensemble score (take 3/8, for example).
-
Replace 3/8 with the "equivalent" 6/16 in the full score.
-
The part scores do not display the new 6/16, but rather show the old 3/8.
I haven't found a workaround to this yet.

I'm sure the workaround is to delete then regenerate the parts.
Please attach a sample score
This is easily reproduced from scratch:
1) new score for string quartet, 4/4
2) add 3/4 time signature change to 3/4 in bar 5
3) generate parts
4) view viola part, disable mmrests to remove that variable from the equation
5) back in the score, change the 3/4 to 6/8
6) view viola part again
Result: still 3/4
Oddly, we do catch changes between 4/4, C, and cut (but not 2/2). So I guess there is code to detect these cases but it's not smart enough.
I remember that this happened in my symphony (4/4 vs 2/2) but I don't have a file left after losing the copy with it and reconstructing from an exported PDF.
