Hi,
after my almost 15 years music engraving and proofreading experience I call across the dessert: can somebody make a plug-in for checking the collection of parts for the uniformity of:

- number of measures
- double barlines
- time signature changes
- key changes
- measure numbers regions
- tempi
- rehearsal letters
- fermatas
- selected headers and footers

It would be a formidable help, as all these elements are important yet tedious to check.
Please, please... before I go blind from looking at these things above.

This was posted in 2006. Does Finale have an answer in 2013?

Obviously the original request is a request for a plug-in that can compare extracted parts that are extracted from the same score.

Finale has had linked parts since 2007.
With linked parts you can have the tasks mentioned above done and updated automatically.

Today I never extract parts - I always use linked parts.
And I am not the only user who never extracts parts anymore.

My guess is that there is much less need for a such plug-in today.

One of the JW plugins checks for fermata consistency in the score, which I've found helpful.

Might not be what you need by JW Validate is helpful for proofing a single document. http://www.finaletips.nu/index.php?option=com_phocadownload&view=category&id=28:beta-version&Itemid=2
