It seems like Finale changes settings without me knowing, since I am no longer able to enter Guitar Bends that point rightward (please see attached document). Is there a setting?

It's happening because you've selected the left facing arrow in the options for the bend. Choose the right facing arrow instead.

If there is a setting to change the direction of the arrow heads in Guitar Bend Options, it is well-hidden in v2012. Attached is the guitar bends options dialogue that I get. If you found a setting that is excluded from the manual, please be so kind as to share.

Never mind. I successfully sleuthed the problem, thanks to the clue you gave me.
A search in the so-called manual yielded no useful info, and how the goblins in Finale managed to change Guitar Bend setting without my knowing will probably remain a mystery until the cows come home.
The setting is not in Guitar Bend Options--where one would logically expect it to be--but rather it's in Smart Shape Options. Here are the steps that worked for me:
1. Select "Guitar Bend" in SmartShape palette -> SmartShape (upper text menu) -> Smart Shape Options.
2. From "Smart Lines" drop-down menu, select "Guitar Bend" -> Select.
3. Choose a line with arrowhead pointing to the right -> Select -> OK.
Again, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
