Thanks, Mark and Christopher. You guys and a few notable others always seem to take the time to help out even (maybe especially) when Finale is having a little trouble holding up its end of the bargain.
I'll fool around with your suggestions and let you know how it goes. Luckily this isn't a typeset job, because, to my eye anyway, this is one of the most glaring problems in Finale. The bars w/the pushes are just so dang wide and those w/out seem out of proportion. I hate turning in a score that looks this bad. I guess I've been spoiled by Finale's good looks most everywhere else. I don't know how easy it would be to program, but an additional music spacing option such as "left align lyrics on tied notes" (and the same for chords) would be one step in fixing the problem. The other would be for Finale to treat two tied notes like one in their relationship to an assigned lyric. This seems pretty standard in the typesetting examples I checked this evening.
