This has been a known bug in Finale for years, and I have been bitching about 
it at least that long.  Somehow, meta tool settings or something gets munged 
and no matter what expression you try to enter, you always get the same one.  
For me, it’s the last expression I entered, whatever it was.  I have been 
around this muck with tech support many, many times, and I did finally get them 
to admit they were aware of the problem.  But that was it.

It used to be that you could quit and reboot Finale and that fixed it.  Then it 
started requiring a complete Mac reboot.  The last time it happened to me that 
is what it took.

In earlier versions of Finale I was able to fix it by first making sure I was 
saved, and then I ran my hands flat over the keys horizontally several times, 
hitting every key.  When I then tried to enter an expression, it worked.  But 
this was back in 2012, 2014, and maybe 2014.5.  I haven’t had it happen in v25, 
the latest…yet.  I do also recall that the last time it happen, this trick 
didn’t work.  But I don’t recall what version I was in at the time.
