Hmm, this explains some problems I had with 2007 for the first
project I attempted. I wanted to extract a piano-vocal from my score,
but I couldn't get it to happen, even after creating the proper
group. Obviously, the vocal line was named, as was the piano group,
so I guess this was holding me up.
I finally saved under a new name and deleted the staves around the
piano and vocal to create the part. Not what was intended by Finale's
designers, I would think.

Ah, sorry, I missed this in your original post. The problem is that
the two staves have names! If you delete the names of the
individual staves, then Finale should show the Piano group
(assuming that the group is named Piano -- otherwise it will just
show Group 5 or something).
There's some logic that Finale uses to determine whether to make a
score group available in the manage parts dialog or whether just to
make the individual staves available. I don't remember all the
details, but I know that if the staves have names (or maybe it's
just the top staff in the group) then the group is not available.
I just tried this myself to confirm. When I named the two piano
staves, the group wasn't available for me either.
Hope this helps.
Aaron.
