Okay...
Let's say you have the following chord (or "cluster," if you must), in a treble clef staff, reading from bottom to top, all notes in the staff:
Gb - E - F
Finale displaces the flat in the Gb to the left -- so that it appears to the left of the (left-displaced) E. However, there is more than enough room for the flat to fit under the E in its usual, non-displaced, position.
What do y'all do in this situation? Leave it as is, or drag the flat back to the right?
If there's room, I would suggest dragging it back to the right for clarity. I have found that often people reading music with displaced accidentals that way have a problem wondering if it's an Eb where the flat was displaced too high or a Gb, where the flat was displaced to the left.
As long as there's room for easy reading, I'd go for clarity every time, even if Finale is following some older convention.
