I could not get Special Tools/Beam Adjustment to access any part that had been extracted from a multi-part staff, and beam adjustments are needed. You cannot go back to the score to do the editing, or to a part with both voices, because the beam situation changes as the number of notes on the stem changes from two to one.
You should be able to get Patterson Beams to work on a part by first opening the plugin window, then switching to part view, then applying the plugin.
I also described (or tried to) another uncontrollable situation. On one staff line in a part, a 31 m. MM rest and a one m. pickup (with entries) at the end of the line. Finale will make the 31 m. rest and the one m. spread equally on the line, making the single measure look way too wide. So you drag the bar line and fix it. Fine, if you print right away, but go to another part and return to this one, and take a look. The spacing has sprung back to the default. I u
Have you tried editing the multimeasure rest width with the Measure Tool (control-click the measure, select Edit Multimeasure Rest, and change the width)?
