Hi all,

Perhaps someone can enlighten me how to fix this:

I'm trying to tie a note over a barline at a key change on a transposing
staff, but the tie end into the note in the 2nd bar doesn't show up and the
accidental can't be hidden by the normal methods.

Try this:
In Finale 2011 (it probably happens in previous versions as well), open a
new document without libraries. Add one bar so that it is 2 bars long. In
Staff Attributes, set the transposition of the staff to "(Bb) Up M2, Add 2
Sharps". Make sure "Display in Concert Pitch" is unchecked. Change the key
in bar 2 to Bb concert (leave bar 1 in C concert). In bar 1, enter a whole
note Bb (Ab concert) and tie it over the barline to another whole note Bb
(Ab concert) in bar 2 in the new key. You will notice that the tie end in
bar 2 doesn't show and the accidental isn't hidden (you can see this by
making bar 2 the left-most bar in scroll view or forcing it down to its own
system in page view). Speedy edit commands don't allow you to force the tie
end to show or to hide the accidental. You can use the Edit Frame dialog to
hide the accidental, but checking "Tie End" doesn't stick.

Any ideas?
