I have inserted Page Breaks in the score, but they appear completely useless in all parts.
Q: How to avoid these to be applied onto the parts?
Q: How to remove these in the parts only, except using mass freeze? If I go to Page Layout and try to delete them, they are not available (since it is linked!).

Thanks.

Don't use Page Breaks at all. Instead, use System Margins to force the number of desired systems on a score page.

Page breaks in the score are reflected in the parts? That is dumb.

Page Breaks only appear either in the Score on in a specific part. They are independent from each other. If a Score Page Break is appearing in a Part, there might be file corruption.

I have found what is causing it. They are not the same, I confused it.

They are actually "measures designated to begin a new staff system as defined in the Measure Attributes dialog box." Not page breaks.
Why they appear - no idea.

I rarely, if ever, use Begin a New Staff System, as I lock my systems instead, which are independent between Score and part. However, I believe some might use this when multiple movements are in the same file.

I find it very useful for new movements. Begin a new staff system + always show time signature for the first measure of the new movement, hide cautionaries + final barline for the last measure of the old.

Definitely not the way to effect page formatting, though. Page breaks, on the other hand, are a lot easier than making a wide system margin to cause a break.
