Re: Double sharp/flat Trills
Another option is to notate the trill-to note as a small note head in parentheses.

I don't know if this helps, but if you can identify what you think is your oldest file and go to Score Manager > File Info, it will tell you when it was created.

Re: Audio Engine failed to load Error code 7)
If you can live with the error pop-ups and you don't care about playback, then I don't think you need to worry. But for me:
You need to go to your iPhone (yes -- iPhone) and Settings > General > Airplay and Handoff > turn off Continuity Camera.

Re: first second endings collisions in parts
5notechord,
PL3 is beta, so on the purchase page you'll need to use the pop-up to switch to beta to update your version.
I just checked it and yes, it fixes the endings problems.

Re: Single line is stuck on a page
There is a page break at the top of the second page. If you delete the page break you can move those measures to the bottom of the first page.

Re: Tuplet bracket hooks in opposite directions
If this only happens a time or two you could make the triplet with no bracket (number only) and then create the bracket you need with the Shape Designer. If it happens a lot that would be a huge pain.

Re: playback output to headphones
You've probably thought of this, but under Bluetooth on the menu bar is the selection correct?
If Bluetooth is de-selected, does it play back correctly through the internal speakers?

Re: move grace notes to trilled note
You can use Special Tools > Note Position Tool to drag them to the other side of the barline.
Also in Speedy, if Jump To Next Measure is turned off you can put the two 16ths at the end of the measure and change them to grace notes. Probably the same thing can be done in Simple.

Re: version for Apple silicon?
Lynn,
Now that you have located the Preferences file, it's a good idea to make a copy of it in case that file goes bonkers, which happens occasionally. If it happens you can just drag the copy into that spot.
Glad that you had a happy ending.

Re: Manual spacing
Another option is Special Tools > Note Position Tool. That allows you to select multiple notes and nudge with the arrow key. Not as precise as Peter's solution, but maybe quicker.

I tried Perfect Layout and it didn't help. It fixed the spacing but it put the beams at the top rather than between the staves. Maybe there is a setting I am missing.
