Finale 2014 for Windows. I am relatively new to Finale, but immediately encountered this problem: when I first inserted measures into the middle of a score, it just scrunched up all the music that was formerly on that line into the edges of the screen, making it unintelligible. Picture for reference.
See the gray padlock icon at the end of the line? That means you have locked that system, so Finale cannot reapportion the notes to space them properly. Choose a measure in the crowded system and SHIFT+END to select to the end of the composition. Then apply Utilities > Unlock Systems to respace the measures from your starting point to the end.
If you want to be doubly careful, perform this maneuver on a copy of your file until you have what you want.
