Does anyone have any advice on how to produce a performing score
for piano duet with the secondo part on the left page facing the
primo part on the right page?

You've gotten good replies already -- here's my suggestion:
1) enter the music in page view only;
2) calculate just which measures you want on each set of facing pages;
3) enter the music for each page just as you wish it to appear
(forget about playback of anything more than a single page of a
single part);
4) create two different page headers, one for the Secondo Part and
one for the Primo Part, each set to appear only on left page or
right page accordingly;
5) Set the measure number regions, one for each page;
This should allow you to end up with a single Finale file which will
print just as you wish without the bother of having to go to PDFs
and interlacing the pages to get the proper printout.
If I've omitted any important step, I'm certain someone will point
that out. :-)
Thanks for outlining another way of doing things. When it comes to
music notation, we need all the tricks we can get.
One quibble: "the bother of having to go to PDFs and interlacing"
pales in comparison to the hassle (among other things) of the method
listed above. Just drag and drop the PDF pages into the sidebar of
Preview or Acrobat and resave the result.
