I don’t have anything manually selected to either show or hide accidentals in the Properties Panel. If you look at measure 318, there is a G# in the left hand. Yet the first new instance in the next measure, after the rests, doesn’t show the accidental, which makes it possibly confusing as to whether it’s a G# (it is) or a G-natural (it isn’t). I have Modernist accidentals in the preferences, but does that then assume that a tied note’s accidentals carry through to subsequent notes in the measure without needing a courtesy accidental? In my Notation Options, I have all the options selected to show cautionary accidentals, never to not have a cautionary accidental displayed. It just seemed odd to not have a courtesy # there. Same with the F# in the right hand and the A# in the last two measures. Thanks.
Hi @dtoub, maybe this is the Option you are searching for? (it seems that the end of the previous tied note’s pitch, that has a # is considered to exist as G# in the same bar, its duration extends in the second bar, so the # is not repeated for the next G: that Notation Option change takes care of this, repeating the #)
Switching between the two options:
Thanks. It’s a tradeoff since if accidentals persist for just a single note (which is like the 2nd Vienna School option), it forces accidentals on all those prior clusters. What is working now is I went to “Common Practice” and that forced the appropriate accidentals. I hadn’t realized that the Modernist approach considered a tied note’s accidental from the prior measure to still “count,” hence my confusion. Thanks!
