Re: How to change the Simply Entry Tool default note value?
When I launch my own copy of Finale, the Simple Entry Tool always opens by default in Eighth Note, rather than in Quarter Note. I do not know of a way to change the default rhythmic value, sorry. To get a specific rhythmic value I just hit the relevant number key. To get a Double Whole Note, I just ...

Not enough info. 1) What the layout is supposed to look like, we do not know. What should happen when you change the time signature from 4/4 to 2/4? a. Should the number of 2/4 measures be the same as the number of 4/4 measures before - meaning that 50 % of the notes should “go away”? b. Or should t...

Re: Varying numbers of staves.
By your words “Abbreviated Staff Names” you mean S. and A. - right?
For the doubled staves I would use a Staff Group, and use the group’s Abbreviated Name.

Re: Is there a simple way to make layered accidentals overlap?
Two questions:
1) You are using Finale 27.4.1 - but was this particular Finale document created in an earlier Finale version?
2) What happens if you try
MIDI/Audio menu > Retranscribe
?

Re: Delete rest
That “first rest” is the first rest on the bottom staff (in Layer 1).
The rest may look like it is on the top staff, but it has been moved up.

Re: Reverse beam issue
My first guess would be that you are not selecting correctly.
Whenever you need to use a Finale plug-in, switch to the Selection Tool.
Select a region by dragging.
Begin dragging from outside the staff.
