mu͒3: flexibility of Parts
Hi,
I’ve been doing some “interesting” things with Parts, such as having transposed copies of the main score as Parts so my PDF generator just generates one for all of them.
Today I wondered whether I can do a Part with the original notation with repeats, and the main score (which the audio is generated from) have the repeats expanded and the playback (for notes where one verse has a tie or slur but the other doesn’t) fixed. That is, a Part of a different length than the main score.
Of course I couldn’t create them using mscore3 itself, but I can easily do so by XML editing. Of course I’m losing a lot of linkedMain/linked tags, but otherwise… it seems to work!
Does anyone else have any experience with how stable this is?
What else are the limits of Parts?
I think I saw that you could also append a Score element after the main Score element, not as final subelement of it how Parts are implemented, but I couldn’t get that to work when I quickly tried that. Is that true, how does that work semantically, and what would you use it for?

I don't think anyone else has been adventurous enough in such endeavors.
I didn't know XML has parts, is it this? mind sharing a bit of your work before and after editing? Could be used for function like this one? By the way that's a nice one the umlaut on the u

Not MusicXML but mscx, MuseScore’s native file format. And no, you can only edit it when you close it first in mscore itself then reopen after having edited. And not an umlaut, it’s a combining fermata above.
