Finale 2008a, Windows XP Home
Sorry, you had it in the subject line, and for some reason I missed it. I'm not sure why this is happening. As long as I've been using Finale, the default behavior has been to advance the cursor to the next position after entering a note or chord on a beat in Speedy entry. In the interest of full disclosure, I should also note that while I own 2k8, I do not presently have it installed, though I did check the behavior of both later (2k9) and earlier (2k3) versions. Some followups to your original question:
Enter a single note in speedy, switch to a different open running program window (alt-tab or click on different window), switch back to Finale, enter the next single note in the measure, it creates two notes (a chord instead of just the single note you enter) comprised of the note you just entered and the previous note.
How are you entering the notes,using the computer keyboard, or a MIDI device? Also, what is the position of the speedy entry cursor at the point at which you move to the other window, is it on the note you just entered, or on the note you are ready to enter? I use a MIDI device. When I enter a note in speedy, the cursor advances to the next position as soon as I've entered the note. Now, if the cursor is on a note I've entered, and I switch to another window, and back to Finale, the cursor is where I left it. Same if I have the cursor waiting at the next available position: if I switch to another window, and back to Finale, the cursor is in the same position.
I do not think that what you are seeing is a bug; rather I suspect that there is some obscure checkbox in a little noted corner of a dialog box which has had a check added or removed without your recognizing it.
