Hey, thanks. That's kind of what I thought. I assume a CDRW would
suffice for my purpose, however, once I select "Burn," I can neither
add or delete any data from it, right?

No.
All CDRs start out the same, what we call a data CDR. If you use a
blank CDR to make an audio CD (one that will play back like a
regular CD, not a CD with WAV or AIFF files), there's some kind of
switch that gets set which marks it as an audio CD.
If you buy preformatted audio CDRs or music CDRs, these are data
CDRs which *already* have this switch set, and there's no way to
unset it. The only thing these CDRs are good for is making audio
CDs to be played on a CD player. You cannot use them to back up any
kind of data files, including Finale files.
Aaron.
