Hello, friends. I am trying to write three D flat in the same bar. As you know, normally you write D flat once and the other D of the same bar are flat without writing the flat. I need to write the flat simbol in order to help my students to remember that this note is flat. I am writing atonal music. Can you help me?
Example: I want to write C, Dbemol, C, Dbemol... in the same bar, but the software writes C, D bemol, C, D...
I have Finale V27 and windows 10.
Thank you.
If I understand you correctly, you are trying to force show a courtesy accidental - right?
… I want to write C, D bemol, C, D bemol... in the same bar, but the software writes C, D bemol, C, D …
I suppose that you are entering with the computer keyboard, not with a MIDI keyboard - right?
Are you using the Simple Entry Tool, or the Speedy Entry Tool?
The latter note will be a D♭ if you are using Simple Entry (the accidental will not display, but you can hear D♭ in the playback).
The latter note will be a D♮ if you are using Speedy Entry, displaying a ♮. When you flat the note to D♭, the accidental will not display (but you can hear D♭ in the playback).
To force a courtesy accidental:
A. In the Simple Entry Tool:
Simple menu > Simple Edit Commands > Accidentals > Show/Hide Courtesy Accidental
(Note and remember the keyboard shortcut)
B. In the Speedy Entry Tool:
Speedy menu > Speedy Edit Commands > Show/Hide Accidental
(Note and remember the keyboard shortcut. You can also hit the letter A key)
