About the original subject, under my opinion, it isn't really a bug: if you 
imagine the situation between two different measure in different staves 
(last measure and first one), for G# you would see at the begin of new 
system a G tied to another (natural) G instead a G#.
My opinion is to repeat always the alteration between altered tied notes on 
different measures: I do it using cautionary accidentals plug-in but it 
can't remove the redundant accident: this is really an annoying bug!

Subject: [Finale] Accidental Bug


[FinMac 2005b]
There's a really annoying bug in Finale that's been there for years.
When a note with an accidental is tied to the next bar and then tied
again to another note in this same bar, the final note is given a
redundant accidental. For example, in 4/4: whole note with accidental
tied to half note tied to eighth note.

I reported this to Finale some years ago and they acknowledged that
it was a bug but have never fixed it. I'm so used to it that I
automatically hit * in these situations to hide the unwanted
accidental. Except when I forget. Sometimes they escape my proof-
reading, and are I believe rather confusing for the players as well
as being plain wrong.
