I think the problem here is that if the staff names are different in the
different scores you are combining, the staff assignments are lost when
you combine.
A staff can only have one name, and when you insert music from staffA
into staffB, then the name staffA gets lost. So if there is an
expression in the source score that assigns something to staffA, when
that gets copied into the target score that doesn't contain the name
staffA, Finale has no idea where to place it. In other words, it
doesn't remain attached to the "top staff" it remains attached to
something called "staffA."
So one possibility would be to edit the source score so that staff names
match those in the target score. Then hopefully things will remain
common between the two scores and staff assignments will stick.
If you have already tried this and it doesn't work either, then I have
no idea what else to suggest.
Good luck.
