This shouldn't be a problem, since Finale lets you choose which systems
to optimize:
1. Make sure that all the systems of the first and second movements
are optimized, but none of the systems of the third and fourth
movements.
2. In Scroll view, add the new staff, dragging other staves if
necessary to accommodate it. You can drag staves around, even change
the order in Scroll view, but any optimized systems in Page view will
not be affected.
3. Once you've entered the music in the third and fourth movements, you
can optimize these systems as well, making sure not to re-optimize the
systems in the first and second movements.

FinMac 2K4. Halfway through a symphony, I've discovered that I will
need an additional percussion staff for the last two movements.
I realize that I can just add the needed staff and optimize it out of
the first two mvts, but how do I do this without disturbing the
numerous staff position adjustments I've made to individual systems in
those movements? Especially, how can I avoid losing adjustments I've
made to the relative positions of the existing percussion staff and
the staves that now adjoin it?
