Okay...
Let's say you have the following chord (or "cluster," if you must), in a treble clef staff, reading from bottom to top, all notes in the staff:
Gb - E - F
Finale displaces the flat in the Gb to the left -- so that it appears to the left of the (left-displaced) E. However, there is more than enough room for the flat to fit under the E in its usual, non-displaced, position.
What do y'all do in this situation? Leave it as is, or drag the flat back to the right?

Hmm, strictly, the standard as I learned (and Finale defaults to, apparently) is that accidentals are vertically stacked for the interval of a seventh or more, and for a sixth or less the lower accidental is offset to the left. Since you have an E (sixth) offset to the left that is obviously affecting the placement of the flat on the G, I would leave it.
But that's me.
Strangely, Finale takes an upper left-offset note into account even when the interval is LARGER than a sixth. Try (bottom to top) Gb, A, B. The flat on the G is offset left as well. This appears to be wrong to me.
