I've had mixed success with accel. rit. markings. Sometimes it works fairly well. Other times, it does nothing. Most of the time, it doesn't make a smooth transition from one tempo to the new tempo. Perhaps it doesn't work well over short distances (2 measures or less?), with changes

You leave it undefined. That's HP's job. It's supposed to look for the word accel (or variations of it) and then look forward to the next tempo marking (if any) to determine the tempo curve. If it doesn't do that, report it on the Finale forum as a bug for Robert and send it into customer
