2. cautionary accidentals
I thought they were locked in versions since about Fin2k. You can tell
by a "*" appearing in the Speedy frame when the cursor is on that note
(and pitch). This is pretty stable. In earlier versions you had to
manually invoke this condition by pressing option-* (on Mac).
The problem is that when you lock them (I lock them all) they
*unlock* as soon as you change any notes in the measure. This means
that you have to leave locking cautionary accidentals as the absolute
last step of editing the notes. I prefer to do the note entry in one
pass, and if in a later editing pass I see a problem with the note
entry (usually, needing to add something that was omitted or correct
an incorrect pitch), I change it then, but that removes the locked
cautionary accidental.
Well, it doesn't work that way in Fin2k5. I am wondering whether you are
actually _unlocking_ them, because I am pretty sure automatic locking
had been introduced by 2k3, which I believe you are using. I don't have
2k3 installed any more, but can someone else investigate this?
Just adding a cautionary should lock it. If you follow this with
option-* you effectively _unlock_ them again.
Am I on the right track?
Finale has always worked this way.
It used to work that way, but to my knowledge hasn't worked like this
for a long time.
And it has always been an annoyance for me, since it's Finale saying
"I know how it should look better than you do."
Agreed, but as I said, I am not seeing this problem any more.
