I am editing a score originally copied in 1998, but now on Finale 2014a.
I painstakingly adjusted many, many notes in adjacent layers which, somehow, had moved: things that are a second apart had shifted so that they were far apart, instead of being right next to each other. I can't tell you how long I worked to get this back to the way it was supposed to be. And then I had it all fixed, printed out the score, and found that they had all shifted again.
Why won't they stay put? And how can I count on them eventually staying in the right place? I can't afford the time to have to adjust these every single time I need to edit or print out the score.
I just posted the above on the Make Music Community Help Center and was asked to include a score in which this is happening. I have been correcting these as I go, but here is one un-corrected example, in m. 73, piano right hand. The F was lined up exactly where it should have been, and then the next time I opened the score, it had moved to the right.
Thanks,

In Document Options, Music Spacing, uncheck 2nds as a spacing choice. Also, I always choose to Incorporate manual spacing.

For that, be in Speedy Entry and ctrl-click the measure when in the proper Layer. Then, uncheck Spacing for that note. That way you can keep the 2nds selected as an option. I believe the problem here is that the dot on the layer 1 note is taken into consideration for spacing. JW Change can also do it, except it is not available if one has v25.
