The point is that for Finale there's only one barline: the one to the right.
Only the first measure in a system has a 'left' barline also. I think this may be the cause of some confusion.

How can I get each stave to start with a barline on the left (to the left of the clef)?

An open end IS "normal"! One of our composer/arrangers for our community band uses Finale pretty much as it came out of the box, and always has a barline at the beginning of each line, so there's a way to do it, but I find that when I read his music it strikes me as a rather odd affectation. It is NOT standard in the industry except for (a) instruments which use the grand staff, and (b) Broadway copying where there is no key signature at the beginning of each line, making the barline necessary.
