Score and Parts

In Mozart a score and its parts are completely integrated.
The score and its instrumental parts may be viewed simultaneously and editorial changes to the score are automatically included in the parts and vice versa.
In doing this it may be convenient to show a part side-by-side with the score. To assist editing in this configuration, the music in the currently inactive window is now shown with a darker background.
