[Finale] score issues

[Lawrence David Eden]

Previously, I wrote to the List regarding my attempt at creating an 
orchestral score.
You were all correct:  Finale had the transposition box checked in 
Staff Attributes, but no transposition had been selected.  Thanks to 
you all for that clarification.

I have another issue:

In my orchestral score, I did not initially include an oboe staff in 
the WW section.  My first staff was Flute, 2nd staff was Bb Clarinet, 
3rd staff was Bassoon.  Later on in the arrangement, I decided that I 
should have included the oboe, so I "created new staff with Set-Up 
Wiz."
I named the staff OBOE....Finale called it Staff 15 and put it at the 
top of my score.  I wanted the new oboe staff to be under the 
flute....so I renamed the staves in my WW section to make room for 
the oboe.

Interestingly, when I look at my score, I see my Flute part on staff 
1 but I also see a series of whole rests in the same staff....the 
rests look to be the same as when using cue notes, only they are of 
normal size, not reduced.

I want to get rid of the rests but can't select them without also 
selecting the notes.  It kind of looks like Finale is trying to write 
2 parts on the same staff and in the same layer.

The score plays back correctly....but it looks abnormal.  I don't 
want to give the score to the conductor until I figure out how to 
make it look right, so I am open to some instruction from my fellow 
Listers.  How do I put out the fire?

Thanks,
 Larry
