I've been bitching about the lack of a Cancel button in the 'Too Many
Beats..." dialog box for years, to absolutely no avail. The
response I last got from some dim-bulb tech support dweeb was they no
longer felt it was consistent or necessary with the GUI. WHAT???
I scream every time I mis-hit a key in Speedy and get this dialog.
And since I sometimes type like a hooved animal, this is pretty
frequent.

I used to tie notes across barlines by entering too large a value,
then hitting "Move extra notes to next measure". This would be
selected by default after the first time, so it would make things
fast when dealing with the large number of anticipations that you
get in jazz music. However, when I do that in later versions,
Speedy stops "listening" to the MIDI keyboard while "moving" the
extra notes, so if I have a repeated pitch I get a rest instead of
a note on the next entry, even though I am still holding the MIDI
key down. This caused many problems for six months or so,
especially if I rarely looked at the screen while entering music.
Wasn't it that very version which also got rid of the cancel button
in that very dialog? Man did I curse Coda at the time, and I still
do. Whoever made that design decision cannot have been using Finale
much.
