First off: the D minor section should be in written F-minor with your A clarinets, methinks. The change to parallel major should be F-major in the clarinet parts, with three flats naturalized at the bar line (and the non-transposing instruments will have one flat naturalized). I'm not going to fire up Finale to test this out, but last time I looked, you didn't need to bother with "independent key sig" just because you're using transposing instruments. Ind. Key Sig was for bitonality (and tri-tonality, etc... incidentally, Ruth König once described bitonality as the art of writing bad music in two keys at the same time.-) Anyway, suggest you try w/out the Ind.KeySig option. The staff transposition should deal with key signatures appropriately. As I recollect, this was one of the things that Finale did "right" without intervention from the user!
