What happens to me when I open a score created in an earlier version of Finale is that sometimes the groups for things like piano and harp get screwed up, so that they encompass MORE staves than just the piano staff. I don't know WHY it happens, but if you go into the Staff Tool and Edit Groups, you can change the staves that the keyboard groups encompass. Sometimes there is no bracket, so it is a little confusing, but just look at the "from" and "to" staves in the list for a given group, and you will be able to manage this.
BTW, it's a bug. It's not supposed to do this. It's just an artifact from opening an older file.
