I think one question here is, if you 'query' a particular measure, would you see a full report of any previous F5 actions that affect the one bar you are looking at? The answer is No. The way around this is to take note of two things: first, a red underscore at the measure number tells you something was adjusted there; and second, you can look in the Song Memo and see a detailed list of all F5 actions affecting the song.

Yes, welcome to the forum.

Possibly related, I do recall a discussion that the rules for F5 might be different on that first measure. I'll see if I can find the thread.
