I had a situation where I had two tied notes on the same line or space, but they had different pitches, due to different accidentals. For example, F natural tied to F#, or E flat tied to E natural, which would be slurs, not tied notes. Finale sometimes HIDES the second accidental in that case. Obviously this leads to a notation error. When I pointed this out, I was told, "this is normal behavior." Maybe they should distinguish between a slur and a tie. Right now the software treats them as the same. But you certainly DON'T want it to hide the second accidental if they are different pitches.
Was the slur entered as a smartshape slur or as a tie? If it was entered as a tie, Finale would be assuming you were connecting these pitches and so they must be the same. (regardless of accidentals, I know...odd). But, one really shouldn't be using a tie to make a slur. Could you clarify how these were entered? -Scot -- Scot Hanna-Weir Music Engraver A-R Editions, Inc.
