Repositioning expressions in linked parts

When you first add an expression, positioning changes to that expression in the score apply to all parts containing that expression. If an expression is repositioned in a part, the change does not affect other instances of that expression in the score or other parts, and future positioning changes to that expression in the score do not apply to that part. However, if an expression is repositioned in a part containing multiple instances of that expression, all instances of that expression in the part are broken (and all instances of that expression in the part continue to move uniformly).

Broken expressions in parts can be relinked to the score at any time (see Relinking part items to the score).

The “Allow individual edits per staff” setting in the Expression Assignment dialog box allows you to reposition, hide, or show an instance of an expression without applying these changes to other instances of that expression.

• Checking this box for an expression in a part breaks the positioning and show/hide link for all instances of that expression in the part - each instance of that expression in the part can be edited independently. All other linked instances of that expression in other parts continue to move in uniform with edits made to that expression in the score. (All expressions in the score turn orange indicating this expression has been broken in at least one part).
• Broken instances of an expression in a part containing multiple staves can be edited uniformly or independently depending on this setting. However, note that changing the state of this check box always breaks the link for all instances of the expression in the part.
