Adding extra spaces doesn't work for click assignment, as Finale seems to ignore them. It also treats carriage returns and multiple carriage returns as a space, moving to the next note as if it were a space.
The opt-spacebar on Mac will NOT add space the way you might think! It will add a space that Finale thinks is a normal character, attaching to a note or allowing two words on the same note. I think the "shift right" is our best option, I just want a way to do it faster. For hyphenation, I use this website: http://juiciobrennan.com/hyphenator/ You have to check the results, as it doesn't always return what you think is right ("bless-ed" instead of "blessed": "pleas-ed" instead of "pleased", for example) and it doesn't seem to know contractions ("hadn't" comes back undivided), and it doesn't know slang ("gonna" and "havin'" stump it) as well as many proper names don't get divided. But it's great!
