I have a piano part that includes arpeggios across both staves(top and bottom), but for the life of me cannot remember how this is accomplished in finale. Can somebody please help me?
You can put the arpeggio articulation on just one hand or the other and then drag it up and down to cover both staves. Or you can put the one articulation in each hand and then drag them so that they line up and overlap exactly. I always keep my RH and LH staves an exact multiple of staff spaces apart, and I use a metatool for consistent alignment of the arpeggio mark relative to the staff lines, so lining up a mark from each staff is pretty easy for me. If you aren't so orderly in your habits, getting two of them to line up properly will probably be a pain.
If you want it to playback like a single arpeggio, you'll need an articulation on each hand (though one could be invisible). Then you have to do a little math to work out the right ratios and tweak the Change Attack values for top and bottom notes in both chords.
