Hola, Chuck! The most important is to have a different (Finale) instrument defined for each staff and/or voice. Every instrument defined will appear as a track in the exported MIDI file. If you fail to do so, Finale will mix all the notes sharing the same (Finale) instrument in the same track. Percussion maps should not be a problem.
Good luck!
