Accidental Kerning

[John_Ruggero]

These accidentals are not kerned as much as I would like:

and I would prefer:

Is there a setting that I need to change?

[charles_piano]

Have you enabled this option?

[John_Ruggero]

Thanks, @charles_piano Yes I have.

Do you get the same result for these two chords with your settings?

[charles_piano]

Here is what I get with the two options:

[Mats_Frendahl]

I got this on a default new project

It looks good. I had to flip the stems manually, as “down” is the default.

Thanks @charles_piano and @Mats_Frendahl They both look good. I just realized that I may have changed the font of the my accidentals and that may be affecting the kerning. Are you both using Bravura?

[charles_piano]

@John_Ruggero

Are you both using Bravura?

Bravura here, yes.

[Mats_Frendahl]

Bravura here too. I stick with the default (Bravura, Times, …). After 30+ years, I’ve found that these result in the best sleep.

@charles_piano @Mats_Frendahl

I’m using Bravura but mix in things from Finale Maestro and a couple of others. That does get me into trouble occasionally. This is the first time I’ve noted problems with accidentals, which I will have to live with for this project. Any way, thank you both for taking the time. It did help.

I don’t scorn Times New Roman either, Mats_Frendahl. To me, Times New Roman Bold looks the closest to the font used for tempo indications in much older engraving. And it makes an excellent font for footnotes.

Wish I could give you both credit for a solution.
