I use Speedy Entry for entering notes and rests. Once notes ands rests are entered, I generally use Note Spacing to quickly adjust bar-lines locations, and also to get notes and rests adjusted laterally for best overall visual clarity. Often times, I will then manually tweak the position of bar-lines, and also will tweak note/rest positions for a lateral layout of notes and rests that seems to me ideal in terms of visual clarity. In other words, sometimes I agree with Finale Note Spacing and sometimes I disagree. 

Whenever I open the Speedy Entry tool by clicking the Speedy Entry icon in the main tool palette, Speedy Entry automatically opens the first measure on the page that is displayed on screen. I may not be intending to work in the first measure of the page, but by default Speedy Entry automatically opens the first measure on that page. If that first measure happens to exist in a system that I previously have custom tweaked by adjusting both bar-lines and notes/rests, once I leave that measure by pressing "0," Speedy Entry applies Note Spacing to that entire system, thereby re-spacing that system back to default spacing settings. This automatic action can undo many handmade spacing adjustments I have inserted into the system in question.

If I happen to notice this automatic spacing re-occurring, I immediately press Command + Z to undo the automatic music spacing change, and thereby restore my hand-tweaked spacing choices. Sometimes, however, I am focused on something else and therefore do not notice the automatic music spacing change that I did not want or choose.

Is there a way to lock my custom spacing choices into a system once I am finished making spacing-layout edits in that system, so that Speedy Entry can no longer automatically undo my choices? Using the Utilities menu, I can lock certain measures into one system, but that does not lock the specific spacing of bar-lines or lateral location of notes/rests in that system. That option only locks in specific measures into a single system. Is there a tool or a command that locks bar-line positions and note-rest spacing, preferably on system-by-system basis?

Thank you for any suggestions.
