Off the top of my head: 1) When you have a note tied to a note in a different layer. 2) When the first note of a second ending is tied to the previous note. 3) After you've applied the "courtesy accidentals" plugin, and you decide that a particular courtesy accidental is superfluous. There are lots of other nonstandard, but still "practical" situations where you might want to hide an accidental that would normally show. That key is also frequently used to manually *show* accidentals, for instance courtesy accidentals. > Certainly hiding UNNECCESARY accidentals is OK, though, but the > software has to be smart enough to know the difference. Why would you want the program to second-guess you? Obviously the ability to show and hide accidentals on a case-by-case basis is essential. Do you really want software that wouldn't hide or show an accidental when you pressed the "hide/show accidental" key, because it somehow determined that you didn't have a good reason for doing so? And be nice to the people at Coda tech support, please. Their job is to explain how the software works, which they did. If you aren't satisfied with the way it currently works, you can send in a feature request. However, in this situation, I'd advise you to think carefully about what you are asking for. - Darcy ----- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Boston MA _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
