Hi Andrew,
There is a plug-in....plug-ins>note, beam and rest editing>cautionary accidentals that allows one to set the way Finale checks for accidentals. You can specify which layers Finale checks too. I'm thinking that you could somehow toggle between checking in layer 1 only and then checking in layer 2 only. After you set these Options then of course go to Mass Edit>Utilities>Check Accidentals and run that.
Using check accidentals in my experience still requires proofreading...it isn't perfect, but maybe the layer settings will help some.
Best,
Karen
I know for sure that Mass Edit>Respell Notes will do this, but this will also alter any enharmonics that you may have forced in the process, meaning that you will have to comb through the part looking for those in any case.
A better solution is if you are TG Tools user, then TG Tools>Accidentals... will unfreeze any frozen accidentals without the bad side effects of Finale's way. I would start by unchecking everything except for Unfreeze Existing Accidentals and Check Accidentals, then see if everything worked. You may have to experiment a bit with the settings if it doesn't.

I'm working on an orchl. score that follows the convention that when two parts share a staff, the accidentals behave as if it were a keyboard staff--that is, if one part has, say, and Eb, and later in the measure the other part has an Eb, the second flat is not notated.
When both parts are in the same layer, this happens automatically, but when they're in different layers, I have to hide the second accidental.
So here's the question: when I extract the parts, the hidden second accidental needs to get unhidden, but can be very easily overlooked while proofreading. Is there any way to make hidden accidentals automatically reappear on a global basis *without* disrupting the numerous cautionary accidentals (including after ties across barlines) that this piece contains?
