- Have you actually tried the part extraction utility? I have version
- 1.63 of Copyist DTP and whenever I attempt part extraction, the resulting
- file is completely screwed up...usually the first stave is what I wanted,
- but everything afterward is from the wrong stave or formatting is
- completely messed up.
- Have you sucessfully extracted parts? If you have, was there any
- special trick like the master score having to be in a certain format(ie.
- so many lines between staves). Nothing I could find in the manual really
- helped my problem.
-
- A note on copy-protection...I bought my Copyist DTP about a year ago and
- it had key-disk protection. I guess this new non-copy-protected system is
- somthing new.
