Attention Mac Users
Apple will release macOS 15 (Sequoia) on Monday, September 16, 2024.
Finale v27 is not compatible with Sequoia and will not be updated.

When notes that are entered as seconds are moved to another pitch, they will incorrectly retain the offset spacing generally required for spacing notes that are a second apart and would otherwise collide.

To resolve this, the best thing to do is delete the errant note, and re-enter it. Our developers have been informed of this issue, and the work slated to address this issue is part of an effort to improve Finale's automatic music spacing as a whole.
