Motet,
Your script doesn't work for me. (Probably a Windows vs. Mac issue.) As with Kevin, it stalls at the final OK. I tried some of the pre-programmed scripts and they all acted the same.
Not a big deal since all it needs is a Return to finish the script.

Re: Need help with my FinaleScript for X noteheads
I know nothing about FinaleScript, but with some trial and error I made partial progress by changing this line:
check "X Notehead" near "change to"

Re: Staff Labels lost
Is it possible that in Staff Attributes the box got un-clicked for Staff Names in Score?

Re: Automatic beam breaking
Does the pattern repeat? If so, you can copy/paste Secondary Beam Breaks using the Edit Filter. But if the pattern doesn't repeat that's no help.

Re: hide staff in section of piano part
If you ctl-click the piano group and edit group attributes, there is a pop-down for hiding empty staves. It probably says Only Hide if All Staves are Empty. Change that and see if it does what you want.

Off Topic -- Ads?
Recently every time I go to this page (the Finale forum page) I get a pop-up ad, usually for Legos, which I have to close. It's just one click but it's annoying. I am many decades past the Lego age and for me they are mostly a threat to bare feet.
Is anyone else seeing this?

You can make a shape expression, and be sure to make it horizontally stretchable.

Re: Corrupted file?
Motet,
Possibly I was able to delete the staff after moving it to the top because both Felipe and I are on Mac. I will be curious to hear if it works for him.
Thanks for reminding me of the XML trick.

Re: Corrupted file?
This is a long shot, but maybe try Document > Data Check > File Maintenance and see if that reduces the file size enough to send.

Nothing there. We would need to be able to see the staves to figure out the problem. Try again?

Re: Switch horizontal alignment of chord notes
You said you put in voice 2 first in one of your posts. Are you using voices rather than layers? If so, you might try layers. But I tried voices and it turned out fine.

Re: Switch horizontal alignment of chord notes
I assume you want the dotted quarter to the right of the whole note. For me that's what happens when I enter the notes. I'm using 27.4 on a Mac.

There are a couple of ways to create a pickup measure. If you used Document > Pickup Measure then use the Selection Tool and select the pickup measure, then Document > Pickup Measure > Clear Pickup > OK.

Re: Frustrated with changing lyrics size, font, etc. HELP
Late to the game here, but another option is JW Change > Syllables > Font Size.
Syllables seems an odd spot to find that, but there you are.

Re: Orange chords?
I did a test and Michelp is correct, though in my case when the chord in the score is unlinked from the part it turns green rather than orange. I see in the Preferences pane there is a way to change the color of unlinked items so Mike's source must have done that.

Re: Inserting flat symbol into Score Manager/"Score Name" Insert with Raleway font
ebiggs,
When you put information into the File Info, then it adds that info to the score and all parts. So I assume the OP wants to add a flat in the File Info so he doesn't have to edit the title on every part.

No, he is referring to Score Manager > File Info.
Once it appears in the score it can be edited, but not in the File Info box.
