Re: diminished 7th chord with a major 7th added
You will have to create a new suffix (Chord Tool, double click on the score-> Select -> Create). Save the library to be able to load it in other files. Before loading the library, delete the existing library to avoid duplicates. You can define the playback of the new chord via Edit -> Set Play. P.S....

Re: What monitors are you using for Finale?
My setup :
• Main monitor (score) : Asus 27 ", 2560 x 1440, pivot
• Second monitor (palettes, parts, audio software...) : Asus 24", 1920 x 1200
The combination is fine. 2 monitors is a big bonus, if you can afford it and and have enough desk space.
Less than 1000 € these days (for both).

Place the 2 lines in different layers and in the Scoremanager, give each layer a different midi channel.

Re: version for Apple silicon?
MakeMusic made Finale compatible with Apple Silicon from version 27.2 on (we are now at 27.3).
Updates in Finale v27.2 include:
Finale is now installed as a universal application, allowing it to run natively on computers using either Intel or Apple Silicon processors.

Re: Where does one buy older versions of finale?
Assuming that I correctly understand your description of your MacOs, the MakeMusic website specifies that Finale 27 is compatible with MacOx 12.6 (Monterey). It is my configuration, by the way.
Re: Lay out
My experience is that Finale doesn't memorize the position of palettes (and the playback widow) when working on 2 monitors (Mac).

Re: Automatic beaming
Same observations (Finale 26). Beams are correct (Simple or Speedy) in new entries.
Rebeam Music fixes the problem in your file, as Grossingink said.

Re: Finale 25.5 Plug-ins Peculiarity
After properly installing the RGP Lua plug-in into a RGP Lua folder (you named it RPG Lua), you should see it after relaunching Finale, but there is an extra step : launch it, click on Add and then Select File, locate the script and install it.
Relaunch Finale.

Re: Cue notes in linked parts with "specify voicing"
Cue Notes are usually added with a plug-in (Scoring and Arranging -> Add Cue Notes) and are placed in Layer 4. To hide the Cue Notes in the score, use a staff style : Blank Notation with rests in Layer 4 (predefined in Finale). Display the score and apply the staff style to the "Current Score" only ...

AFAIK the short answer is no. These numbers are generated by Finale when the expressions are created.

You can create an expression using that symbol and place it wherever you want.
The original staff style will still be applicable to other regions, if needed.

Re: How to independently adjust shapes which are created at shape designer??
Create a metatool which calls the original shape (To create it : Shift+key of choice and select the shape; to apply it, hold down that key and click in the score).
As I said, each time you use the metatool, a copy is created which can be modified in the score.

Re: How to independently adjust shapes which are created at shape designer??
Make copies of the original shape and modify the copy in the score.
Better : define a metatool for the original shape. Each time it is used, it creates a copy, which you can modify in the score without altering the original.

In your current document :

Text menu : Size.
Do the same thing for all verses, etc.
For the future, modify your template(s) or Default File : Document Options -> Fonts -> Lyrics.

Re: Chord symbols on repeats
You could add the second set of chords on a second line an add an expression "2nd x".
To obtain more chords than beats in a measure, create them in an another measure and drag them into position into the second line of your measure.
