Working on a score today brought to mind one of my issues with how Encore works. Suppose that I put labels on each section of a score and that some of these sections had rests / tacets in some parts. Then when extracting such a part, I cannot use the Compress Rests feature because the section label will not allow measures physically under it to be compressed. So, this causes two possible “gotchas”. First, If I do select “Compress Rests”, the rests in sections with labels have to be first uncompressed, then the label has to be moved out of the way. Next the measures have to be recompressed, and finally the label has to be moved back. And this has to be done for EACH affected part. The second possible gotcha is when Compress Rests isn’t selected. Then, the process of moving labels, ompressing rests and re-placing labels has to be done for each part.

And while I’m talking anout extracting parts, a nice to have would be an automation text to mark sections of (especially percussion) parts with a command feature that allows their extraction to produce a numbered extended rest with the caption “Play”, or “Similar”, replacing the notation that was there in the full score. (Yes, some of us like to hear all the parts together in the full score before exporting the parts.)
