I've had similar problems repeatedly in chromatically transposing staffs when NOT viewing in concert pitch. In a way that seems random to me, accidentals disappear, particularly cautionary accidentals that I've put in and frozen with the asterisk key. They will show up when I hit the asterisk key, but disappear when I leave the measure. Sometimes, repeated freezing and unfreezing will get them to go in. In some cases, I have had to resort to putting the accidentals in graphically (as expressions) just to have a cautionary accidental where I want it. It has never happened to me with a non-transposing instrument. It has happened when I have entered music and then transposed it. I really do wish that MM would finally fix this truly annoying problem with cautionary accidentals in transposing staves.
