Jeremy,
Unless I've very much misunderstood your explanation, it sounds like something a simple Update Layout will fix. You can even turn on Automatic Update Layout, if you like.
(BTW, since there has been discussion of the sluggishness caused by Automatic Update Layout, Automatic Word Extensions, etc -- in my opinion, it's ridiculous that Finale does not handle these simple tasks automatically *and* quickly, especially on today's hardware. It's enormously frustrating that Finale seems to keep getting *slower* even as the hardware keeps getting faster. Updating the layout automatically ought not to be a hugely processor-intensive task, and I really wish Coda would take a year off the constant upgrade cycle and work *exclusively* on making the program run more efficiently.)

disappearing measures,
I've never seen that. What is that? I have occasionally seen measures APPEAR to vanish, but that is usually because I had a multi-measure rest where I later entered notes, and forgot to turn off the rest.
That was a typo (although I have seen the measures with music "hidden" inside a multiple rest before) — I should have said disappearing systems. A while back I was doing a string quartet score, for example, with two systems per page. After completing all the horizontal layout and editing, I set the top and bottom margins for all pages in an appropriate spot and the did Page Layout/Space Systems Evenly..., whereby Finale pushes the top system to the top of the page and the bottom system to the bottom of the page. What I discovered was that occasionally the bottom system would simply go missing, so page x would e.g. be system 10 and 11, page y would be system 12 with no bottom system, and page z would be sytem 14 and 15. So system 13 simply disappeared. If I looked in scroll view the music was still all there, just not in page view. Once I saw this I realized it was happening very frequently.
Again, this was Finale 2002.
