Thanks, Chuck and David for your suggestions. In the meantime, I've
found a workaround that seems to do the trick without too much trouble:
instead of actually entering the rests in the C sections, I use measure
attached expressions in the score and a staff style to hide the normal
default rest.
Too bad metatools can't be assigned to an expression associated to a
staff list.

P.S. The choice of the default whole measure rest is another issue.
Regardless of what might be preferable, I want to decide myself, and not
let Finale decide for me.
I realize that P.S. but couldn't help expressing my opinion on the
subject. I agree wholeheartedly that it should be your decision and not
the program's.
As to metatools and expressions and staff-lists, what I have found works
great is to use the metatool then right-click and in the Expression
Assignment dialog assign it to the staff list. It just seems to work
better for my work flow. Probably ends up being the same number of
mouse-clicks and expletive-utterances but somehow it works for me.
