Dear jef,
Once the score is set up according to Finale's linked parts
conventions (no trouble for me, once I learned the new behavior), the
creation of linked group parts works seamlessly and automatically. I
don't see a need to identify a staff in the staff attributes dialog,
as long as I can see the group name (Piano, Harp, etc.) when working
in the score. The new system actually removes the small steps of
requiring names for those individual staves.
Now, if someone could tell me why group staves are spaced a different
vertical distance apart in the part (in my case - always closer than
what I have in the score), that would save me a small step of having
to adjust that in the part. I bet there is a place to control that
that I have missed.

yeah that seems to be it. ok, that is really stupid.
i always name all staves and set the staff name to not show in the
SC to avoid the problem of not knowing whether staff 15 and staff 16
are harp or piano RH and LH when working on multiple staff
definitions in the staff dialogue. is there any convincing reason
for this behaviour?
the work required to remove the anme, generate staff group parts and
revert the names is prob the same as adding the staff groups in the
parts.
don't know if this is part of the problem or not, but you must have
no staff names assigned to the staves in the group. Finale assumes
that unnamed staves are part of a group - like a piano part. I
hope this is of some help.
