In Finale Print Music, is there an option to always include courtesy accidentals?  I'm working on a student/beginner oriented workbook and want to have the accidentals show up with each note even though the key sig. is there.
I've been doing this manually with the speedy entry tool and asterisk key for every affected note,  but I'm hoping there's a global way to have the accidentals automatically show up in each of the hundreds of pages I'm creating.

At the present time, I'm working on a demo of Print Music and will purchase it if this option is available. If not, then I think I'll have to purchase the full version...
Which brings us to the follow up question; If this preference isn't in Print music, is it in the full version?

I'm on a mac with 10.8.5 using the latest version of Print Music 30 day Demo. The answer of this question will possibly determine my purchase.

No. Courtesy accidentals must be entered manually. I believe there is a plug in to check accidentals (but I've never used it) but that is for after the fact.

Have you looked at the Cautionary Accidentals plug-in in Plug-ins > Notes, Beams, and Rests ?

There is also the JW Accidentals plug-in from Jari Williamson via http://www.finaletips.nu/index.php/download 

although the latest (the 64-bit for use with Finale v25) are only available for Windows so far.

Thank you. I believe plug-ins are for the full version of Finale, not Print Music right? I haven't seen any option for plugins for Print Music. Hopefully I'm wrong.
It will be a problem if I will have to add thousands of accidentals manually.

That is correct. Plugins are for the full Finale, only.
