What you do want to be careful of is that you don't hit the Generate

adding parts, the correct procedure is to use the New Part button,
define your part, and then hit OK. This will add the new part and
preserve your existing parts.
I don't know what others think, but personally I see this as one of the
most unintuitive implementations in Finale. The potential risk of error,
and consequential disaster is so high, it is like putting a huge note on
the screen saying "throw your computer out of the window now or it will
explode". Or worse.

I agree and had great frustration initially with this.
I've resolved it several ways (not that we should have to be so careful
with such a powerful feature):
1) I don't worry about generating parts until after I have done the data
entry (just as with the old extract-parts I wouldn't extract the parts
until the score was just right);
2) I don't do any editing on any of the parts until I'm sure I've got
the parts list exactly as I want it, in case I accidentally click the
Generate Parts button.
