I’m using dorico elements 6. I created a simple score in my first flow. In Setup mode I duplicated the flow. The new flow is missing all the accidentals( sharps and flats ).
All the notes appear to be ok.
I’m enjoying the product.
thanks
User error here.
I believe what happened is that I created the flow, selected everthing( in the new flow) and shifted it all up an octave. At that moment, I didn’t notice all the accidentals were gone. I stepped away and when I came back I noticed the missing accidentals. I assumed they disappeared during the creation of the flow rather than the shifting up an octave.
This morning I tested the shifting up an octave in another test project and voila, no accidentals.

Didn’t you use cmd-alt-uparrow to shift an octave up? (ctrl-alt-uparrow on Windows I guess) Or shift-i t 8

Thank you Jesper. That is the correct way to do it. 
I had used shift-alt-uparrow 8 times. I’m a real newbie here and had not taken the time to lookup the cmd for octave shift up.
I’m slowly learning …
You’re the best

No. I think you just used alt-up arrow. With the shift key added you would have moved everything by semitones and accidentals would be preserved where necessary.

I guess you mean alt-uparrow 8 times? alt-shift-uparrow is chromatic, so that would be 12 times.

It’s true that doing this will lose accidentals – that’s by design. Ctrl/Cmd+Alt/Opt+up arrow will transpose the notes by an octave and will preserve accidentals. Shift+I for the intervals popover and then t 8 will also preserve accidentals.

I stand corrected again.
Thanks everyone.
It doesn’t, however, preserve manual accidental visibility overrides.
