I wish there were a number of things that could be locked and not 
changed:

1. manual spacing

2. cautionary accidentals

3. manual beaming breaks

All of these edits, despite my having explicitly told Finale I want 
to override the defaults, are volatile and get blown away by the 
simplest changes. Numbers 2 & 3 really oughtn't get overriden at all, 
and your request, for the ability to lock a measure's spacing, would 
be a very good thing. If that were combined with the addition of a 
spacing metatool keyboard modifier to force-override that locked 
spacing (such as ctrl-4), that would be even better.
