Note mover tool. Drag the handles to the other staff.

You can do it manually, with NoteMover Tool and Special Tools Tool.


But you can also do it with the plug-in (assuming that you are using the full Finale).
It's a little faster with the plug-in:

Plug-In menu > TG Tools > Cross Staff...

For even faster work, use the plug-in's hotkeys:
Select the desired region (with the Selection Tool), hold down the Alt key, and hit the DownArrow key (or the UpArrow key, depending of what you want).
