Tedious, but you could make a copy of the file. There you could delete all notes in the offending bar. Then listen if there is an artifact in the bar. If not add the notes one by one and listen after each entry, whether something wrong occurs. If so check if the offending note is a resultant pitch of the notes entered so far. If everything comes out well, then go on working from this file. The error then were a one-off corruption in the original entry process.
If there is an artifact in the bad bar, my first attempt would be about deleting the whole stack of that bar. Then listen whether the artifact is rooted in a different bar. If not then insert a new bar and then re-enter the contents of the stack again. Most certainly not by copying from the original file. I am a retired teacher and without knowing any code it has been helpful to me treating the computer like a kid with learning disabilities: Cut up the process in its smallest bits and check after each step.

Thanks for your suggestion, Christopher. I thought for a moment you had it, and kicked myself for not checking. I've just looked again, and I'm afraid it's not that. I neglected to say in which octave this rogue B appeared, and it's in the lower octave. The Bb that ties over is the one almost an octave above Middle C - but the rogue B is definitely an octave below that, adjacent to Middle C. Nonetheless, in case the octave was deceptive, I used the asterisk to show the accidental to check out what you said - and the higher Bb definitely is a flat, not a natural. There is definitely no B or Cb anywhere in that bar. There is in the following bar (which contains the same chord shifted down a perfect 5th) - is it beyond the bounds of possibility that the Cb from there is somehow being shifted a bar or so earlier by the Finale playback? So I'm afraid the matter is still unresolved. Can it just be a software or memory glitch or bug that does such a thing? Perhaps I just need to delete the whole bar and do it again from scratch, and see if it happens again.
