There is a plug-in for that. And you can do it manually. As I recall,
in speedy edit, you hit * to show the accidental that would be hidden by
default. And it is a good practice to parenthesize any cautionary
accidentals. You can do that by hitting p in speedy edit.

Place the note on the note where you want the courtesy accidental and
hit the * key. That places an accidental on the note. If you want it
in parenthesis place the cursor on the note and hit the p key.

An update. As suggested by Christopher, I opened a ticket with tech support,

Thanks for the update. That doesn't exactly fix the problem though.
What if you go F, then F# later in the measure, and Auto Freeze is
on? Then later you edit and decide to change the F to F# as well. Now
the second F# has a redundant accidental on it. I wouldn't call that

part. In each case, when I went back in and changed the first F to F#, the

Try to freeze the accidental state. Don't know the command on the Mac
though, it's Ctrl-* on Windows.

We went through this once before, and I can't find the response in my
archive.
How do I provide courtesy accidentals? They are not in any of the tools,
thouh at one time they used to lurk in the articulation tool. Is there a
key command?
Thanks,
Linda Worsley
NEVER MIND. I found it. Who knew it would be so easy!
Thanks again,

That would be if you've got a chord. If you only have one note, the

I seem to get more questions from performers if I really meant to write those

backfire. I haven't decided

You do not need to hit the asterisk key first to force the courtesy
accidental w/parentheses to show on a note. With the cursor on the
beat in question, just hit the p key in Speedy to make it appear. It
has a toggle action, so another p stroke will hide it again. As has
been mentioned
For what it's worth, I always use parentheses for courtesy accidentals - if
I don't it leads to the time wasting question, Why is there a sharp sign
there - should the previous one be a natural? With the parentheses it's
recognised as a courtesy.
Cheers,

Hi Linda,
I'll reiterate Chris's observation that using the articulation tool to create
courtesy accidentals is not the optimal solution. The existing shortcuts in
Speedy/Simple are much faster and more reliable in a greater variety of
situations (transposing instruments, transposed passages),
I'm using Mac Fin 2010 and haven't been doing notation for awhile.
I can't seem to find courtesy (for inserting courtesy accidentals). Do I
have to creat them in the articulation or expression tool? I don't
remember it being so mysterious.
Sharps, flats, naturals-- none of those appear as an
In Speedy Entry, put the cursor on the note you'd like to add an accidental

You can define which character appears there in the document

Forgive this second post, but I am getting desperate.
Every time I open older files, like one created with FinMac2005 with

the measure, and I get parenthesis on accidentals where they shouldn't be.
