I opened a Finale file from 2012 and went to Score Manager.
There is not a list of instruments, only a single instrumented that instrument is the one last viewed before selecting Score Manager from menu. That's problem 1.

Problem #2.After viewing the bass clef baritone part, I added a treble clef baritone instrument in Score Manager. A 2nd staff was added to the euphonium part. Not good. I tried to delete the new part from the Score Manager, but there isn't an X on the far right to do so.

Thanks in advance!

Re # 1 : just in case, if a part is displayed (not the score), the ScoreManager only has that instrument in the list.

Regarding the missing "X" to remove an instrument, you may need to scroll horizontally. I dragged the separators leftward: the scroll bar at the bottom then disappeared and the "X" became visible again. Hope this helps.

It's a tiny little x in an unlabeled column at the extreme far right.

I think that's a good thing - too easy to accidentally click the "x" otherwise.

It would be a good place for to ask for an "Are you sure?" confirmation, since it's employed rarely enough for the confirmation to become annoying. Ditto deleting a part. Though I guess one can always undo if one notices.

For such a potentially serious action, one would think a confirmation prompt would appear.
