Placing of accidentals in different voices

[Minas_Borboudakis]

Hi everyone! is there a way to have both accidentals (2 different voices!) on the left side of the first note/voice? Maybe a global setting? Thanks! Minas

In Engrave, try setting the voice index of the 2nd note to 0.

Thanks Janus, I tried that bu then the second note head disappears on the first one. i need to have both note haeds appeard.
If there is a global setting it would save a lot of time, because I have a lot of places with that problem. Any other thoughts?

Thanks Charles, I thought about that too already.

I suspect that keeping the accidental with each note is standard practice, to avoid ambiguities such as this:

true, it makes sense but it looks awful

It probably sounds awful, too, so that fits.
