After entering music in step time (using the Simple or Speedy Entry Tools), you may discover that Finale hasn’t correctly notated notes that are tied across a barline—and the notes that follow them in the second measure. Using the Check Accidentals command, you can quickly update all accidentals so that they follow the usual musical rules: a note tied from a previous measure doesn’t show the accidental, but any notes of the same pitch in the second measure do repeat the accidental.
- Click the Selection tool
, and select the region whose tied-accidental notes you want to correct. See Selecting music for some region-selecting shortcuts.
- Choose Utilities > Check Notation > Check Accidentals. Finale takes a moment to update and correct all ties and accidentals.
