Use Filter is checked by default - uncheck it and make it a shortcut key

Finale v. 27, Windows 10.

Having a default checkmark next to Use Filter creates a technical hazard when one forgets they set a filter some time ago ... and now what they want to Copy will NOT copy because it was unchecked in the Filter dialog. An experienced user opens the Filter dialog, a less-experienced user opens a Support Request. (And has the CSR say they've made the same error ... forgetting to reset the Filter.)

I believe unchecking Use Filter would be better than returning the Filter dialog to its default of all-checks each time, as setting up a filter repeatedly could be quite tedious.

Anyone else had this experience?

I'm not clear on what the issue is. Are you asking for Edit/Use Filter to be document dependent? It's global only and I see no way to change this. Use Filter needs to be toggled on/off in each document as you use Finale.

This would be an interesting feature. You ask for these in the Feature Requests section:

BTW, it's not a checked Default for me. When I close Finale, however it's checked/unchecked is how it opens next time. Is it different for you?
