I've found the factor that decides if Finale treats accidentals the "old" or new" way. It's governed by this setting:

Document Options > Accidentals: Use Cross-Layer Accidental Positioning.

If you open one of your older templates in 2005 you should see that this option is not turned on: turn it on, save the template in the new format and all should be fine.

Yes, Mark. I quickly put a test file together yesterday, and entered two and three note chords with an accidental on each note. Each accidental on each chord could be moved independently of the other accidentals. How about
that?

This test file should be virtual "out of the box" default Finale 2005a for
the Mac.  I guess my program options would be the main exception.

I'd just like to know the factor in mac 2005 that allows the old, incorrect
behavior.  Then, maybe, I could still use my templates.

Thanks,
