You can get finale to do this.

Options-->Enharmonic spelling-->Use Default Spelling.

I just did a scale and I had sharps on the way up and flats on the way
down.

Subject: [Finale] context sensitive accidentals


I'd like to have the option for Finale to  handle accidentals this way:
sharps when ascending, flats when descending. (i.e. C C# D in ms. 1, but
D Db C in ms. 3). I think I saw this feature on the notation window of a
sequencing program several years ago at NAMM. It handles a chromatic
scale exactly as you'd expect. It seems pretty logical to me, at least
as an option. After all, sometimes, say in F, C# makes more sense than
Db, no? The global settings just don't take into account what's
happening melodically. I use Speedy, and I'd like to eliminate the 9 key
as much as possible. Any thoughts?
