Expressions in linked parts

You are here: How do I... > P > Parts > Expressions in linked parts

Expressions follow the paradigm described at the beginning of this section (see Linked Parts). When an expression is added to either the score or part, it appears in both. Similarly, when an expression is deleted from either the score or part, it is removed from both.

The following properties of expressions are permanently shared between the score and parts:

Settings from the Expression Designer dialog box
On Playback, Affect: setting in the Expression Assignment dialog box
Begin Playback At setting in the Expression Assignment dialog box

The following table lists properties of note expressions that are broken if changed in a part:

Property changed	Link type broken
Repositioning (nudge, drag, or H: V: values)	Positioning
Remove Manual Adjustments	Positioning
Hide/Show setting	Hide/Show

Note: Removing Manual Positioning in a part (e.g. selecting an expression handle and pressing BACKSPACE) does not relink a broken expression. In fact, doing so in a part breaks the positioning link.
