Maybe I'm not understandiong the question, but I just did this in a symphony movement of mine. There are many places where the strings broke off into divisi, many where they are unis. You can select only the systems where you want staves hidden and apply the action to them alone - for the entire file at once. For exampel, Violin 1 only, or all the strings or all the strings and the percussion (which is what I did) - it's a pretty simple matter. And you can leave a system -such as your keyboard - with blank staves showing, no problem. What I actually do for these sorts of things is select from the 1st bar on the second page of the score to the end of the score, since I often want the whole layout showing on the initial page, subsequently only that which is applicable. On the Sibelius list I'm on nobody does any Finale-bashing, so sorry to hear about the one that does. But to be fair, I hear plenty of complaining about both programs on both lists, so which pot calls which kettle black? ;-) I know neither program is perfect - that's why I'm on both lists.
