That is the solution that Finale provides. Another solution would be to define all the staves without time sig and then apply a staff style to each part to show the time sig.
and i use staff styles extensively for percussion, and sometimes for other instruments.
Me too.
and finale does not allow the option of rmoving selected staff styles
Sure it does, only it is not obvious. Select the Staff Tool. Make sure there is no selected region by clicking somewhere on white space. Turn on Show Staff Styles. It also helps to turn on Show Staff Style names. Click on the blue bar corresponding to the staff style you want to delete and click either Delete or Clear. (On Mac I think either works.) One click and delete clears a staff style from an entire contiguous region to which it is applied, so if it is applied throughout the piece, removing a single staff style is easy.
My Mass Copy plugin can seletively clear copyable or non-copyable staff styles, but this is probably not granular enough for your needs.
On the topic of controlling the size and positioning of large time sigs, I have often used special zero-line staves for this purpose. Depending on where the time sigs should appear, zero-line staves often work well.
