That's a bad kludge. Find another, better way to get the result you

Ugh. OK, well at least that answers my question. Thanks.
I see why they'd want printing to force and update layout by default,
so that people don't waste paper because they forgot, but I wish
there were an option to turn it off for people like me who want to
trick Finale into doing things it doesn't naturally do.
Since upgrading I've noticed a lot of improvements which are designed
to make it less likely you'll need to tweak but at the cost of making
it more difficult to do so when you do want to tweak. This is the
first one I've noticed where I've lost functionality altogether, though.
Do you have another kludge you would recommend for generating space
after a courtesy time signature at the end of a system? I'm not sure
if an invisible measure will be acceptable, so my only other idea is
to blank out the barline and time signature and redraw the whole
thing myself. But I'm hoping it doesn't come to that.
