Is there a way to mass find & replace chords in a Finale lead sheet? For example, I did a chart and put a bunch of Bbm/G chords and I want to replace them all with Gm7. Is that possible?

You probably mean that you want to replace them with Gm7♭5 - right?
I do not know of a way to “mass find & replace”, sorry.
An idea:
Program a chord metatool for the chord Gm7♭5.
In this example let us say that you program the metatool (for Gm7♭5) on the letter G key.
Then, replace the Bbm/G chords one-by-one, in this way:
Chord Tool.
Drag-select the chord handle on the chord Bbm/G.
Hit the Delete key (to remove the chord Bbm/G).
While holding down the letter G key, click on the beat, to make the Gm7♭5 appear.
