Is there any way to get aggregate time signatures to show accidentals by default as if the dashed barline were a real barline?
I am unclear what a time signature has to do with accidentals.
With an aggregate time signature (4/4|3/4) there is a dashed barline that separates the first group from the second. The issue is that Dorico treats the 4+3 as a single measure in which accidentals do not reset at the dashed barline. This is technically correct, of course, since it is a bar of 7. But it’s also extremely difficult to keep track of accidentals across a dashed barline–both because of the length of the measure and because a reader will see any kind of barline and instinctively read it as “counting” as the start of a new measure. At least that’s my sense, and I want Dorico to apply accidentals as if each bar of 7 is made up of two bars.

Based on the lack of additional responses, should I understand that accidental reset at the dashed barline is not possible?
