Centering of marcato symbol

Why isn't the marcato symbol centered on the notehead? I don't recall this being a problem before. I can fix it with the handle positioning, but I'm curious why it's this way.

On further examination, it seems they all have manual adjustments, which can of course I can clear. But every one of them is this way, so i don't know that happened.

I've found out that making large adjustments (5 - 10%) with the page percentage (%Tool) can leave the articulations uncentered. My workflow is to make the percentage change first, then clear the articulation positioning (Utilities > Change) before doing any work.

You mean changing the percentage actually creates manual adjustments where there were none?

I haven't done that. I applied them all with a metatool. I did run various plug-ins, so maybe one of them did it. Or else just another Finale quirk.

That's right. I tried to reenact it but can't. Maybe there's another part to the puzzle such as copying and pasting large chunks. But I have seen it before.
