I should preface by saying I haven’t touched engrave mode since starting this document, and whenever I enter notes on the next page, this happens.
I have to say I never encountered so much engraving trouble when I used that program that Avid owns 
Can you post your project file here, or a cut-down version of it? (Maybe just that player, as long as the file still demonstrates the issue.)
Yes, please upload your project, so we can instantly tell you what’s going on. Otherwise it will be guesswork; for example, do the two a# have an “End Voice” Property set? This can happens when you remove rests. But I can be wrong, I am just guessing. Please upload your project file

There you go!
Remove the Ends Voice here. It’s not deleting bars, just squashing them together since there is no content anymore with Ends voice. Like deleting the rests. You could also set the note input cursor at the start of bar 29 and do Shift-B rest and hit enter. That way the rest is still hidden in bar 28.

Well, it seemed to fix that first issue, but now I have a bar with a single 8th note (bar 24)
Also, why would a program have so many undesired defaults?

Bar 24 is split over two systems. The first bit is 7/8ths long and the 1/8th bit is a pickup. If this is not what you want, just delete the double barline.
