You could add a very thin bar-less extra measure at the end of each system, make the key change there, UNcheck show cautionary key signatures, and then restrike the key signature at the start of the next system.
This will wreak havoc with measure numbers, though.

Hi all,
Is there any way to show or hide courtesy time signatures on a staff-by-staff basis?
Here's the situation -- I'm working on a piece with multiple independent -- and frequently changing -- time signatures. It strikes me that it might be a good idea to restrike the time signature at the beginning of each score system, just as a reminder of which staves are in what meter. That's easy enough to do with the measure tool.
However, that also causes a cautionary time signature to appear on *all* staves at the end of the previous system -- even those staves that are not changing meter in the next measure. While I *do* want cautionary time sigs to appear on the staves who really are changing meter in the next measure, I think it would be confusing to include cautionary time sigs for those staves that are remaining the same. But I still want to restrike the time signature on those staves.
Unfortunately, it looks like in Finale this is an all-or-nothing proposition. I suppose I could make a five-line "white out" staff that I could use to hide the courtesy time signatures on the staves that don't need them, but that seems like it would be a real pain, and more trouble than it's worth.
Any other ideas? I may just abandon the idea of restriking the time signature on all staves at the beginning of each system if it seems like it would cause more confusion than it solves.
