I am trying to figure out how to create a score and generate parts from it when there are multiple parts on the same score staff. For example:
I was suggested i try Explode Music. For that I get this where there common notes disappear.
If I put things on different layers, I get excessive beaming:
This must be a common problem. I was wondering what people generally do here
The solution with the least extra work, it seems to me, is to explode the music and then drag the common notes onto the rests in the other part to copy them there.
You might also take a look at Plug-ins > TG Tools > Process extracted parts.
(You do not tell us what version of Finale you are using, nor what computer operating system, which limits how much help we can offer you.)
You might also try JW Staff Polyphony. That will split the lines out, putting unison notes in both. Remember to download the 64-bit versions, for F25.

Although the downloads are free, he does accept donations. Please do!
You can enter the score with 2 parts sharing a staff. Just use common stems and layers when the 2 parts have different rhythms. When you generate parts, you can use the "Part Voicing" feature to split the divisi stave into 2 separate parts.
