i also noticed this using the single pitch PI. 
but never figured out what the conditions were 
that made it happen.

here you are talking about the SC, right? because 
in the PT this is the only way to correct some 
spellings (i have many instances of E-3/4# for 
example)

mmmmmm, where the hell is this option these days? 
i seem to recall setting it to one of those way 
back when, but canèt find the bugger now.

ok, thanks for confirming that this is just 
another example of stupid finale design.

brilliant.

yes i have noticed this even without voiced parts.
