Hi Kim - Groups were reworked in 2011. The short answer is to double click a handle on the brace of the 1st system. Make any changes you want to the group setup here (ie. unchecking show group name). In the upper right hand corner you'll see the group has a defined range. Checking all

Thanks JB. Checking all measures does it for the barlines. However, the staff name piano still appears to the left of SOME systems. When I select the handle on one it eliminates the staff name on THAT page (and that page only), but also eliminates the name from the score (which I don't want).

Can't be sure what is happening without seeing it but try this: Go back to your score and make sure you have defined the piano group throughout the whole chart. Now return to the part and change the group to not display the name. That might fix your problem. Generating the piano part again may
