Making enharmonic changes

I am have moved from Finale and I am trying tp produce my first organ score. There a re lots of chords but I cannot change to the setting. For example, I have a piece in F major (1 flat). The chord I want from bottom to top G sharp B natural D natural and F natural. When I play the chord in I get A flat B natural D natural F natural. I can’t just change the Ab to G#. And so it goes on through the whole piece. Occasionally I find a chord that I can correct But it is most unpructive software in my hands. I have 30 successful years with Finale.

The chord you want is pretty alien to F major. You could respell it the way you want by selecting it and doing shift-I spell A m (which respells notes as though they were in A minor).

Alternatively if you want a bunch of Ab’s to become G# and Cb’s to be B natural, select a passage and do shift-I Ab=G#, Cb=B
