The process of making and distributing clip files still works for me if I choose the command from the edit menu, but for some reason I can't seem to get the keyboard shortcuts to work. I haven't spent a lot of time on this yet so I'm not sure if the problem lies with me or Finale.
Anyone also had this happen? Christopher, I haven't noticed the copying problems you're talking about, but maybe I'm not trying to move around exactly the same combination of things you are. I did notice yesterday that my "Top of score, all parts" staff list had been duplicated a number of times on a chart I just finished. Each iteration of the list had a sequential number added to its name. On that job I was adding full orchestra to a string arrangement I had done a while back, and had just dumped the existing strings into the new score. I just checked, and the original (strings only) file *did not* have the duplicated staff lists. I don't know exactly when the additional staff lists were added. I'll be glad to do what I can to trouble shoot this with you. I have one more arrangement to do where I am, again, adding to existing strings and will keep an eye out for the origin of this behavior.
