Dear John, I have taught Schenkerian Analysis a number of times. In addition, my wife does research in Popular music in which she uses quasi-Schenkerian analytic notation. I do all of her examples for her.
The answer is that yes, you can use Finale for Schenker sketches. In fact, I believe that Music Theory Spectrum (the publication of the society for Music Theory) also uses Finale. Some things are cumbersome, but I have done lots of sketches and I even have a student who hands in Finale-produced sketches using Finale 98! I'm guessing that there are lots of people on this list who could help with specific questions.
