![]() ![]() I love it! Though it would undermine the rehearsal pianist's plea, when apparently unable to read a simple song in some remote key: even if the singer can't read music, they can be shown the piece with its nest of 6 sharps or 7 flats, which generally gets acknowledged as a reasonable excuse for all the bum notes! /emoticons/lol.gif If you really want to get clean, only the last flat or sharp in a key signature is necessary to define the key. If you don't cancel outgoing key signatures, what do you do when it switches from flats or sharps to C major? Make an exception for that? I'm kind of surprised Finale doesn't have natural-flat and natural-sharp. Shouldn't good notation be as clear and easily readable as possible as well as being unambiguous? If you're modulating from, say, four flats to two flats, it's seems cluttered to see four accidentals in the new key. For the same reason I prefer not to cancel outgoing key signatures, especially within one accidental type. The single flat is totally unambiguous whereas the natural-flat repeats a double-accidental which makes the second note look more like the first note. I've seen the natural-flat notation, too, and really don't like it as a performer. in other words, I'd rather see "A, Bb" than "Bbb, Bb" any time. ![]() Though if you used a single flat sans natural to cancel the double flat, I think everyone would play the correct note.Īlthough I'm generally a great believer in correct enharmonic spellings, at times like this, I'd be tempted to break my own rules and respell the double-flat note as a natural for the tone below it. ![]() Using Finale 2003a, Windows XP Pro and Vista Technically, the single flat is all that's needed, however, I've seen the natural-flat combination many times, and in my book it removes all doubt as to what's intended. I think the workaround you suggest is the only way. Is there a way to do this with normal note entry, or is it only possible via a workaround such as placing the natural as an articulation? I'm using Finale 2008b on a Mac. In a measure in which a b double-flat is followed by a b-flat, I'd like to be able to place a natural sign and then a flat sign before the second b. To toggle between hiding or showing the accidental, hit CTRL+-(hyphen) again.MakeMusic Forum > Public Forums > Finale - Macintosh - FORUM HAS MOVED! > Two accidentals on one note CTRL-click the note or enter a note with the caret.To remove the parentheses, press P again.
