This would really ask for a (welcome) re-thinking of how Finale handles information -- part-based rather than measure/staff based. This has been discussed before, but it basically means tagging what constitutes a part. A part is a player or a voice, and no matter where the part goes, the tag follows it. Extraction then pulls the parts out by their tags, and not by what staff they might be on at the moment, or if they're tacit for a movement, or if they're running a2 for a while, or if they're up/down stems, or homophonic, or contrapuntal.
