Oops. Never mind about using 'favor sharps' as a workaround. It
happens the other way around with flats as well.
I have to decide now whether to chuck the time I spent setting up
this huge score and start over in 2k6 or stick with it and drag notes
or apply the plug-in at the end (and put up with more problems, I hear).
Oddly, this is the bug that's bothered me the most in 10 years of
using Finale.
(bug has been reported to MM, by the way)

I never really thought of how Finale thinks of the notes. I just
know that I more often work in atonal work, where I'd be clicking
and dragging notes all over the place if that were the only
solution. I prefer to keep my hands on the keyboards - a lot quicker.
For now, I'll enter the notes with 'favor sharps' on until Finale
fixes this. I wonder what broke it?

I can't force the natural on the D -- it appears by default and
when I hit the * key the natural disappears. With the natural
showing, if the first note is changed to C# by whatever method,
the natural disappears, as it should. Interestingly enough,
though, with that enharmonic flip in place, you can't force the
natural at all.
Another reason not to use the enharmonic flip, but simply drag the
note and have Finale actually change the underlying data.
Remember, the enharmonic flip isn't changing the data, it's simply
changing the way the data is displayed onscreen. Internally, a Db
is a Db is a Db, even when the program is told to display it as a C#.
If you drag it to a C and add the sharp, then the data really IS C#.
