It would help to know what version of Finale you are using.
I haven't ever had articulations do that in like years. Old versions of
Finale would do that, but not 2006 (or any of the 2000 versions I think).
Also, you might want to read the manual on Staff Expressions. A lot of
your questions could be answered there. Also, TGTools can help you a lot
with keeping Staff Expressions nice and neat.

If I have some horn parts on separate staffs, and I have painstakingly
placed CODAS, Dal Segnos, and expressions on the staffs exactly where
I want them, why does it put them in completely *wrong* places in the
extracted parts?
After I have extracted the parts, I have to do a *lengthy re-edit* of
them to put the repeat items and expressions BACK to where they should
go. It usually puts those in the MIDDLE of the staff, which would
never occur in a practical score.
It also does weird stuff with articulation marks and smart shapes,
such that those also have to be re-edited. Sometimes the articulations
are so far away from the original note, I can't figure out where it
went to start with.
Is there a way to avoid that? You would think everything is RELATIVE
to the staff. Obviously, you could have situations where the
transposed NOTES might clash. But there are many cases where that does
*not* occur, and it still does weird stuff.
