I think the point is that if the pitch is entered as a Gb and then changed to F#, that Finale would be expected to interpret all subsequent instances of that midi key being pressed (in the same measure) as F# instead of Gb.
The ctrl-accidental method is after all the pitches are entered, and it would turn every G to Gb, but it doesn't enharmonically respell anything. The problem would arise, however, if the suggestion is implemented, of the reverse behavior (having do redefine some F# as the originally interpreted Gb) occuring in pieces where the harmony may well shift from a D-major chord to a C-diminished chord within the same measure. So the same behavior that is needed now would still be needed, just in a different piece of music. I don't think it is possible to get a computer program to interpret a midi note number successfully in all situations, even within the same piece. David W.
