A few suggestions regarding linked parts
-
Allow for a single staff to link to multiple parts with the same notes, but different transpositions. The most common use would be to have Treble Clef and Bass Clef Euphonium parts generated from a single Euphonium staff on the score, but there are other uses as well (optional Eb/Bb Horn parts from an F Horn staff, Treble Clef and Bass Clef Trombone/Tuba parts for British brass band literature). I'm aware you can just create another staff and set it to invisible on the score, but this would avoid errors from copying/pasting to the alternate parts when editing the score.

This is a bit more of an edge case, but allow for saving/loading styles and page settings to multiple (but not all) parts at once. For example, in an ensemble I'm in, some players prefer portrait-sized parts and others prefer lyre-sized parts. I have a linked portrait part and lyre part for each instrument, but if I want to make consistent style changes to just the portrait or landscape parts, I have to toggle into each part and select Style -> Load Style for every part. It would be incredibly helpful to be able to mass load styles from the Parts window.

Treble Clef and Bass Clef Trombone/Tuba parts
is possible already, just use the Treble Clef variants for the score, generated the parts twice and on one toggle concert pitch, voila, bass clef!

Oh that makes sense, thanks! I don't think that would work for the horn parts in different keys, but I don't think that's needed nearly as often as the treble / bass clef low brass parts.

Not for this particular use case. The idea is that I have two linked parts for each instrument (i.e. Portrait Trumpet, Lyre Trumpet). If I make style changes in a lyre part and click "Apply to all Parts", it would also change all the portrait parts to lyre format, or vice versa.

for 2 you can save your score twice with different names, and for each, choose the style for all parts, and so, you have the 2 .

That's typically what I do right now, but saving the score in two different files makes it harder to maintain and update charts in the long run.
For 1, you can , after you have done the "first" part, save it, only it, and, you close your score, you load this single part, and you make all the transpositions you want, and save at each exemple with the good name. I do that for the Tuba, some are in C, others in Bb, others in F, and some prefer treble key and others bass key. I keep the tuba in C in bass key in the score , and , after , I creat all the others, not in the score.. All the settings of the sheet music are the same, you change the part name, and if you use it, the "head name" on the top of pages
