Ok, I think I understand now.
The numbers in staves shared by many instruments are staff styles,
available and editable through apply-create staff style in the staff
tool. The name itself is a group name. You can click on the name when
in the Staff Tool and edit full and abbrev. names from there.
The name of these groups is in fact made of two different elements.
You do not have to change the staff style if you only want the
lettering of the instrument to be changed.

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.
