If you mean you do this for system breaks, you can use Robert's TieMover plugin, it can do this automatically. I let it do this in the same run as I move ties on lines a quarter space away from the note (it's amazing that Finale can now do this for slurs, but requires a third party plugin to

I agree, it's never been an issue for me either - more problematic is a reiteration of the same note later in the 2nd measure, and whether the measure rule applies from the tied note. But still the courtesy accidental is always the safe road. (I do like curtsy accidental though :-) -

I had the opposite instinct -- that a parenthesized courtesy accidental on a tied note at the beginning of a measure would not carry through the measure, and if it's e.g., an Eb, the next Eb in the measure would require a (non-courtesy) accidental. But it would be nice to know what others
