Re: Divisi parts with different movement set ups
Are these divisi-staves part of a group? Check that they are marked "optimize normally" (or what the saying is, Finale now not open).

Re: Cimbasso
In Verdi's time all trombones (in Italy) were valve trombones. This explains some of the acrobatic passages in e.g. Rossini operas.
