Description
Your idea
A special type of Merged Staff, that is dynamically imploded by two or more single voice staffs (even one could come in really handy). This utilizes a dynamic link to the parent staffs, so if there is something changed either in one of the single-staff parents or in the merged one, the other one get updateted accordingly and vice versa. This concept is similar to part scores but on staff level.
Also the option to "freeze" (prevent updating by other) or "rasterize" (unlink) the merged track could come in handy.
Problem to be solved
For ease of viewing often it is desireble to merge mutliple staffs into one (using implode). On the other hand for learning, editing, and part scores, divisi voices are much better to handle.
Why not have both options intertwined working together as part scores and the main score?
