I got it to work! Instead of left clicking the measure, which brings up the menu and applies the staff attributes globally, I right clicked the measure and a drop down bar appeared, which applied the attributes locally. I didn't see this before.
Thank you Peter for your help!

You were right the first time. My mistake.
