I do a lot of this sort of thing with a guy who uses Sib 6. We both have it. By mutual agreement, precisely because of the imperfect saving situation between versions, once he's laid stuff out in 6, I stay in 6 using my vision and brilliant powers of deduction to make whatever minor changes i might need to make. I do my best to make sure I keep that sort of thing to an emergency minimum. In other words, I'm suggesting that you not feel you have carte blanche to make changes after your engraver has laid out the score/parts in 7. this may change your work flow somewhat. but it will save you time and money in the end.
