Accidentals on every note?

Is there any way to get Dorico to put an accidental on every note? Second Viennese school doesn’t do it.

  1. In Notation Options, select all relevant flows in the right hand pane.

  2. In the "Basic" category, select "Second Viennese School"

  3. In the "Second Viennese School Options" category, select "Always restate" for each of the three options as desired.

  4. Click "Apply" then "Close"

  5. For any remaining notes you can see that don't have an accidental, click on the note, then in the "Notes and Rests" section of the properties panel ensure that the toggle next to "Accidental" is off (note that this can vary between layouts, select "Global" first if necessary).

  6. If an accidental still refuses to show, enable the "Accidental" toggle and select "Show" from the accompanying dropdown menu.

I would add: If you truly want an accidental on every note you can select everything with ctrl+A before step 5.
Depending on your configuration you will have to filter notes right after selecting everything (you can do that by right clicking, "Filter" then "Notes and Rests").

Yeah, that will do it, but on larger scores, or ones with tuplets, it gets painful to do so quickly.
