However, the following things may be set in each part quite independently of the other parts and of
the score, so changing them only affects the part (or score) you’re viewing:
* Page and staff size etc. (in the Layout > Document Setup group on the ribbon)
* Layout, including breaks and Layout > Breaks > Auto Breaks
* Note spacing (including Appearance > House Style > Note Spacing Rule)
* Text sizes (see Text styles in parts on page 699)
* Some rules in Appearance > House Style > Engraving Rules (e.g. format of bar numbers,
multirests, instrument names, time signatures; appearance of system separators; first page
number; staff and system spacing)
* Appearance of timecode and hit points as set in Play > Video > Timecode.
It’s useful to be able to change things in different parts independently of each other like this.
However, it’s also often useful to make the same changes in all parts or a group of parts at once,
rather than having to do so to each part in turn. This is what the Multiple Part Appearance
dialog is for – b 9.3 Multiple Part Appearance.
