If I'm entering in arpeggios, key is C major, F sharp, A, C, F... I want that bottom F to automatically be an F sharp, even if it is a different octave. Would be nice to be able to specify in formatting as to whether I want courtesy accidentals on differing octaves, same measure or not.
It would also be really, really nice if, in the next measure, when I typed in F, MS automatically added a natural sign to it.
I often will write a line, copy it, paste it to another instrument, change the octave up or down and keep going - and all the courtesy accidentals get destroyed because of the octave change, and I don't remember or notice it because it sounds correct on playback.
Seems like a thing that could be automated.

First one - not reasonable enough, notes on a different octave shouldn't be related;
Second one - duplicate of #7598: Automatic Courtesy Accidentals.
Third one - already fixed, see #292648: Courtesy accidentals disappear after an octave change using Ctrl + Up/Down.
Therefore, I consider this thread closed.

What do you mean notes in a different octave arent related? If there is an accidental, it applies to the note whatever the octave. Sometimes there is a courtesy accidental, sometimes not.

The accidentals in key signatures are applied this way, but not accidentals attached to notes. I don't see a problem with MuseScore about it, for either case the playback is correct.
IOW it is completely legit to have an F#3 and an F4 in the same measure without requiring the latter to need a natural. If you want F#3 and F#4, enter them as such

Another confusing abbreviation xD
But I searched and found out what that means.
