I propose dropping this feature (it hasn't been released yet) as
everything it offers can be done with the new Export Book of Layouts
command (apart from direct printing, which could be done if really
wanted), and it doesn't cause the user consternation by failing to
honor the user's score size settings for the various layouts. It
complicates the Print View - someone will accidentally turn appending
on and then be baffled at the output.

If anyone has any objection please say,
