Sounds like you have two staves on top of each other. Try dragging
one up or down to figure out which one to delete. (this would have
been a better way to reorder your staves anyway).
Next time, select the staff just below where you want to enter the
new staff. Then use Add New Staves (Using setup wizard.) The new
staff will be entered just above, and everything will be respaced
automatically to make room for it. This works in 2009-10 anyway, I
can't vouch for earlier versions.

You were all correct: Finale had the transposition box checked in
Staff Attributes, but no transposition had been selected. Thanks
to you all for that clarification.
I have another issue:
In my orchestral score, I did not initially include an oboe staff
in the WW section. My first staff was Flute, 2nd staff was Bb
Clarinet, 3rd staff was Bassoon. Later on in the arrangement, I
decided that I should have included the oboe, so I "created new
staff with Set-Up Wiz."
I named the staff OBOE....Finale called it Staff 15 and put it at
the top of my score. I wanted the new oboe staff to be under the
flute....so I renamed the staves in my WW section to make room for
the oboe.
Interestingly, when I look at my score, I see my Flute part on
staff 1 but I also see a series of whole rests in the same
staff....the rests look to be the same as when using cue notes,
only they are of normal size, not reduced.
I want to get rid of the rests but can't select them without also
selecting the notes. It kind of looks like Finale is trying to
write 2 parts on the same staff and in the same layer.
The score plays back correctly....but it looks abnormal. I don't
want to give the score to the conductor until I figure out how to
make it look right, so I am open to some instruction from my fellow
Listers. How do I put out the fire?
Thanks,
Larry
