Hi Neal,
I hope I am understanding what you need to do.
I would keep everything in the same layer and enter the notes as
continuous sixteenth notes. Then use a combination of tools in the
Special Tool Palette. You can look in Quick Help under the Finale
Help Menu to see a description of all the tools in the special tools
palette. You may also need the note mover tool, specifically the
Cross staff feature which you can select in the Note Mover menu after
that tool is selected in the main tool palette.
Best,
Karen

Hard to describe in words, but I'll try...
I'm doing a piano part of 16th notes split up among the two hands, eg.
R R R
L L L
As the composer has notated it, the RH notes are beamed together and
the LH notes are beamed together. I've entered it this way
LAYER 1: RH: rest note rest note rest note
LAYER 2: LH: note rest note rest note rest
In Document Options/Beam Options I checked "Extend Secondary Beams
over Rests" and things beamed correctly. Then I went back and made
the rests invisible, at which point all the extended secondary beams
reverted to unextended.
Any suggestions on how I can get those secondary beams to connect
either by giving me another step to do or by suggesting a different
overall strategy for note entry?
Thanks...
