Repeated unnecessary accidentals

I’d copied and pasted these chords : so they end up with repeated unnecessary accidentals. What’s the easiest of displaying only the accidentals required by musical grammar?


Surely we don’t have to hide any accidentals manually! (As suggested in other posts.)

Ideally we’d select an entire passage and press the “re-apply good grammar” key. Exactly as Dorico does when we first input individual notes.

Do those two staves belong to the same grand staff instrument? If so, then the repeated Eb and E natural are the Dorico defaults for simultaneous pitches with different accidentals. I don’t believe there’s a notation option that can change this.

Given the very isolated example shown, the Eb could easily be a D# giving an Em#7 chord.

You are both correct.

I simply didn’t realise that the accidentals appear because of the E natural/ E flat clash. Indeed, spelling e flat as d#, as suggested, is much better.
