Don't give up yet! ;-)
It can be broken up into a couple of measures, barlines can be hidden, music can be respaced, and measures can be excluded from numbering if that's an issue! Check out the measure tool for more details. Might make the parts a BIT more difficult to extract (you'd need to place a graphic rest, etc.), but will keep the cadenza in-score.
The "end of piece" option is always a possibility, as you say.
If you are just learning Finale, seems like you've started with a major project!

Jim - Thanks for the perc. info. I'm getting into the Staff Styles section
as soon as I'm done here. RE: the cadenza. I'm sorry to say that as I
looked it over, I decided it needed a revision. It now has 64mm., too long
for the one measure, giant meter signature solution, I'm afraid. I'm
thinking of putting the cadenza after the last movement, as a reference for
the soloist, on the last page. And a similar fix for the score. My
Beethoven piano concerto scores are laid out this way. Any better ideas
would be greatly appreciated. I appreciate your help and advice.

Check out "staff styles" in the manual.

PS--how was the cadenza?

Another beginner's question: I'm trying to lay out a score that has one
utility percussion part (orch. bells, bass drum, sus. cym., snare). It is
unclear from the manual just how to accomplish this task. If I choose a
percussion clef, I can't add the (pitched) bells and have a functioning key
sig. or be able to add accidentals. If I follow the manual, I'm supposed to
"map" the percussion, but it is supremely confusing. And playback is even
more opaque. Can anyone help? Thanks!!
