In the first place I would give each singer his/her own staff and optimize the systems in the layout (which your composer more or less did in his manuscript ...)
But then again you could define also less staves and use f.e. expressions to indicate which voice has to sing, just copying the way the composer did it in his writing.
On a measure to measure basis you can use a staff style for not showing the name, but you have to keep that particular measure as the first one of that particular page, of course, so apply the staff style only after all spacing and lay-out has been done.
If you alter something in the staff attributes (easily by right-clicking the name-handle) it will be global, which is propably not what you’re looking for.
Good luck,
Klaas de Jong.

Subject: [Finale] Staff name display
Is there a way to turn off the staff name display on only selected systems? I'm working on a score for a composer who sometimes uses one singer's staff for another singer's part.
