Hi Eric,
Here's my problem:
When I change the text in the Trumpet in B flat 1 header to Trumpet
1, the staff style has this header linked to the other trumpet parts
in such a way that they now all say Trumpet 1. I cannot (yet) find
the way to edit just that part of the insert that contains the text
letters, though it is obvious that the lettering is kept distinct and
separate from the numbers in order for this to work as it does. If I
go into the text box in the part to edit it, the box goes blank and
you must re-enter everything, and that is then linked - exactly as
you type it, to the other trumpet parts. They will now all say
"Trumpet 1". So, what I don't know, can't find, is where that text
insert is stored in Finale. It is "not" in Staff Attributes/Full
Staff Name, which is where I tried to change it. That can be changed
in the score, but the header applied to the parts retains the
original full staff name as it was created by whoever made the
template at MM.
BTW, when going in to the staff style definition, all you see in the
staff name entry is the number. The lettering part is hidden
somewhere else.
It's just a mystery - where is the place that the text block insert
["Trumpet in B flat" (X)] is accessible in Finale. Doesn't seem so
complicated, but I haven't yet found it. I suspect I'll feel pretty
dumb when someone comes up with the location.

I don't know about your particular problem, Chuck, but I just
discovered that it is possible to have a name to display in the
score, and another one (a bit changed) in the linked part header
created from the insert text method. When you generate the linked
parts, just modify the name selected, and it will display
differently in the instrument header than in the first system of a
score.
I feared that I could not do it, so I am fairly happy of this.
