On my Mac, adding a courtesy in Simple Entry is command-shift-minus. I don't use Simple myself (except for Repitch with a MIDI keyboard, which is brilliant) so I don't know what the parentheses would be, but I'm sure it's something simple, maybe P. You don't want to add courtesy accidentals in as expressions or articulations, I'm sure.
I suggest reinstalling Finale. It doesn't take well to being cloned at the best of times.
