Description
Description
Currently, it's possible to:
- Make a change in the main score and have it propagate to the part score
- Make a change in the part score WITHOUT it propagating to the main score
But it is not possible to:
- Make a change in the part score and have it propagate to the main score
We should provide an option (probably a preference) to turn off the automatic desynchronization of element when they are change in a part score so that users can choose to make edits in parts that get reflected everywhere if they wish.
