Open the attached 2.x file without resetting.
1. Look at the "LH Guitar Fingering" on the C# note in measure 5. It has collided with the accidental.

2. Now look at the same fingering in MS 2.3.

This is unusual because all other "LH Guitar Fingering" has remained in roughly the same position in both MS 2.x and 3.x.

Indeed, if you don't take the reset, you will be stuck with the fact that the manual adjustments you made in 2.x probably make sense when applied in 3.x because so much has changed. The zero point for this fingering in 2.3.2 would have been directly on top of the accidental, so the offset was just enough to moved it to the right. For 3.0, the improved zero point has the fingering to the left of the accidental, and now that same offset moves the fingering directly on top of the accidental. A perfect example of why not taking the reset is often not advisable.
