Okay, there seems to be a lot of confusion here. I did not understand the extent of the problem when I first posted, because Chuck and Lon were talking about two different things. Chuck was talking about copying from one Finale document to another, and Lon was talking about copying within a single Finale document.

When copying from one document to another, it has *always* been the case that staff lists do not transfer -- even when copying one staff only, all of the measure expressions will be copied into the new document, regardless of which staff they were originally assigned to. That's something Finale 2005 was supposed to fix.

Apparently, when fixing this, they broke copying *within* a document -- which I have not seen myself yet, but if it's as Lon describes, I agree it's very bad and ought to be fixed soon.

In the meanwhile:

Well, what exactly is the work around then??

In a copy of the score used only for part extraction, convert *all* measure expressions to note expressions before extracting parts. (Turning on "Show expressions for extracted parts" helps here.)


(I didn't say it was a *good* workaround... but does anyone else have a better idea?)
