non desired alterations
I have another question, about alterations :
You have several times the same note within a bar, G for instance. You have 4 # at the key.
If you place a bemol before the first G, the second one will be preceeded by a "unwished" #. If you remove this dieze it will be replaced by a becarre, and at the same time the # re-appears before the third note, and so on until you reach the last G... Do you know a way to cancel this automatic process ?
Thank you in advance !
Kind regards from France.

No, although there have been a couple of other threads on this topic, and I too think it would be a good idea. Although I would point out that the way you are describing entering the notes is not really the best way to do it. You should hit the down arrow immediately after entering each G to make it G natural (I assume that's the translation of "bemol"), rather than entering all fours G's then trying to enter the natural sign. it ends up being fewer keystrokes/clicks that way.
Another way is to enter all the notes, select them all and then raise them a semi-tone via the "up" key.

Yes, but this works only if you have the same repeated alteration, obviously doesn't work if you have dieze and becarre. Therefore I have asked with a different example !
Thank you !

My answer remains the same. If you get in the habit of entering accidentals while you enter the notes instead of waiting until later, it's very straightforward. You hit the up or down key every time you want to raise or lower a note from what it is in the key, regardless of whether you had previous entered that same note earlier in the measure or not. Again, though, I do hope some day to see an option to allow music to be entered such that you don't have to hit up or down to alter a note if it has already been altered earlier in the measure.

There is also a french forum at http://musescore.org/fr/forum

Merci pour la traduction ! Dans le feu de l'action, j'avais écrit en français... Merci aussi pour le lien du forum français. Malheureusement, anglais ou français, il semble qu'il n'existe pas - pour le moment - de solution lorsqu'on saisit des textes polyphoniques comme celui figurant en pièce jointe. Si par bonheur, vous en aviez une, je serais évidemment preneur ! Merci et bonne journée. Pierre-François

I don't see the problem in your polyphonic example. It's not linked to your accidental question right ?
Try to post in english here and in french on the french forum.

It's totally linked but it's more obvious in this extract...

I can't read French so I'm not sure what your example above is supposed to be demonstrating, but one thing that occurs to me in seeing it is that the "R" key (to repeat the previously entered note or chord) would be a great help in entering this passage, if that hadn't occured to you yet. Enter a chord with as many accidentals as you like, then select it (N to leave note entry, then shift-left, shift-right) and hit "R" as many time as you want to repeat the chord. That would save a lot of time with repeated chords as in this case, which is probably the situation where the current behavior (in terms of entering a note requiring to re-add accidentals each time) would otherwise be the most bothersome.
