I have just done it all in Finale with blank notation (except for the excerpts) and text boxes. It is convenient to have it as part of the whole Finale file. There are some limitations of Finale text formatting, but it really is fine for most uses. Actually I have done whole books entirely in Finale in which text boxes covered whole pages. Handier and less hassle than what you proposed.
