Hi All, so some of my Dorico projects show completely unnecessary accidentals as I enter notes. The example in the pic is a first flow, so there’s nothing before. I can fix it by selecting, adding sharps and then shifting things up a step and then back down, but that’s not a great solution for an efficient work flow. What’s going on? Cheers.
Hi @jabralatham , check Notation Options → Accidentals
(Maybe you have Second Viennese School in the Basic selected?)
Hi Christian, I’ve checked all that and as far as I can see it’s not the cause. Is there something in particular in there you’d recommend I double-check? SVS not selected. Cheers
That’s definitely NOT the way it’s supposed to behave, and I’ve never seen anything like that in my own stuff. I have no idea what the fix is, but I’m sure someone will come along soon who does have.
If you select the notes (select all and filter for notes and chord), is the Accidental Property override active? If so deactivate it:
It’s only happening on the occasional project. Most of the time I don’t have the issue.
@jabralatham
Can you share the Project? (cut-down version of it)
No, that’s not active.

In the Library manager (from the Library menu) I see that you have a different Accidental System(containing 0 cent flats) than the factory setting. Delete this override and all will be good again 
. Here a visual guide;
@jabralatham
Addon:
Or just edit the Tonality system, and delete the two 0 cent flats items (this work only if no note is using them, so you have to delete all the notes that use them, before being able to delete the items. The Library manager method is better if you have already written some music that you don’t want to delete):
Genius, Christian. Worked perfectly. Thank you very much. I have no idea how that came about - certain I’ve never even been into that menu.
@jabralatham
Probably you have edited the Tonality system at a certain point in time. (I added something in my previous post.)
You are welcome!
(and the Library Manager is a perfect tool to diagnose things 
)
