I am baffled by this passage. The bass line played by the right hand is struck and sustained while the right hand ascends to the treble clef. When I enter the treble clef, the sustained bass note shifts to treble. How do I do this AND maintain correct playback?

In order to suggest the best solution we may need to know the exact passage.

Could you attach a graphic showing the desired layout?

Peter,

I have a screenshot but it is apparently too big. It is a .png and produced this message:

The image must be at least 0 pixels wide, 0 pixels high and at most 1024 pixels wide and 1024 hight. The submitted image is 1270 pixels wide and 498 pixels high.

Open the screenshot in Preview and use File > Export to convert it to .jpg - you can lower the quality of the jpg to lower the file size.

I don't think Finale allows a clef change to only affect 1 layer. I may be wrong. The only workaround is to make it look right by changing the note to one that looks like the bass clef note, but is actually the wrong pitch, but at the same staff position. If playback is needed, then put the playback notes in a hidden layer and mute the visible bass notes.
