Brackets: Group attributes > Bracket: put checkmark on Show Bracket if Group Contains Only One Staff.
That actually wouldn't work, as the bass staff is part of the basso continuo group, which is a keyboard grand staff, so it has a curly bracket.
But, fortunately, the first option did the job.
Isn't this ironic? You can do this, due to the way optimization works in Finale which you only recently criticized...
Here is what you can do, if you want a bracket on select (eg single-staff) systems only: Optimize first, then create a group for the single staff system (on a one by one basis in page view) which only includes this one staff. Select the bracket you want, and check "show on single staff systems" (or whatever it is called).
There are actually quite a number of things which are only possible because of the way optimization is bound to single systems, and not a global option. For instance, it is possible to use Mensurstriche only for select systems, and even mix them in single systems with clever use of group options and measure options. I have had situations where Mensurstriche had to start mid-system and it is possible...
(No need to start the discussion about this again, I did get your point.)

PS: Do you or anyone else have any idea why when I reply to your messages (using Thunderbird) the reply always gets addressed to both you and the list, while for most other posts this doesn't happen (and I don't really want it to happen)? I don't understand it...
