Aha! Group name. Of course. Now I do feel dumb.
Thanks, Eric.

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.
