i never use auto-spacing, so maybe i'm not the right person to comment on this, but doesn't it only affect measures you "enter" (speedy/simple)? so you could do half a score and adjust and know that the only changes to what you have already adjusted after auto-spacing is selected would only be in cases where you enter and exit specific "early" measures? and i would expect this to be independent of update layout... no?
You can still use automatic music spacing (for instance in Speedy Entry or adding articulations) on later measures without it affecting earlier spacing UNTIL you do an Update Layout for the whole document.
Also, Update Layout only affects your current and later pages. Earlier pages are not affected.
