I don't understand why Finale insists on undoing edits that I've made 
to cautionary accidentals. What does Finale think I did the edit for? 
And, yes, I lock the accidentals with Ctrl-*, but they are, like you 
say, fragile.

This has always bugged me a great deal.

A similar situation is with manual beam breaks, which also are quite 
fragile (they go away if you change the rhythm/pitch in a measure).

Doesn't Finale know that I edited these items? If so, why is it 
autocratically overriding what I've told it I want?
