Unwanted cautionary accidentals across piano staves

[Tracy_Icenogle]

I’m getting an unwanted cautionary accidental in the RH staff of a piano part following an accidental in the LH staff. I have selected Common Practice for accidentals, and have selected No Cautionary for “Notes in a different octave within the same bar.” I will attempt to paste the image here (but it doesn’t seem to want to paste).

Hi @Tracy_Icenogle, I tried to reproduce your example and the Notation option that you mentioned effectively doesn’t show the cautionary for the B natural in the upper staff. It is difficult to say what is going on from a picture: maybe you have a Bb in the bar before, on the upper staff? It is better to post a Dorico file that shows your issue, if you would like to post it here.

4. Post a project, not a picture
If you are having a problem with Dorico, the fastest way to get the help you need is to post the project, or a part of it, and not to post a screenshot. If you post a picture, you will almost certainly find that the first person to respond to your thread asks you to post the project. You may be concerned that the musical content of your project will be judged, or stolen. While we cannot guarantee that this will not happen, because of the supportive nature of the forum, this is vanishingly unlikely. There may be copyright or confidentiality restrictions that prevent you from posting the whole project. That’s fine! It’s always better in any case to cut the project down to a smaller size to attach it, particularly because there is a 4MB file size limit on attachments.

Hi @Tracy_Icenogle, well I tried on your project, and it works. You may want to recheck this again:

I rechecked the settings and indeed I must have selected the “show cautionary for notes in a different octave” option somehow. Thanks for your help!
