I am trying to create cross-staff beaming in one staff only. But even if I mark only the relevant voice, finale flips both voices. Please see mid-measure in attached image.
Any ideas how to do this?

I don't think I understand what you want.
Cross-staff beaming, by default, requires two staves... since you are "crossing" from one staff to the other.

Somehow the image didn't get attached. Do you mean "voice" in the Speedy Entry sense, or layers?

That was his first post, so the image was rejected.

If it's Layers, one can choose to show the active Layer only. That should just cross-staff the notes in the chosen Layer.
