This might just be a general copyist question, but I have a tune in BIAB where the ket signature is "A". An F natural was tied into a bar followed immediately by an F# (as per the key signature.) There was no accident even when indicated to "force" a sharp.

Is it not recommended as a "best practice" to indicate an accidental if it cancels out the one tied into the bar ?



First of all, that would be a Slur and not a Tie.

Sometimes it can be made to work, if you enter both notes first, then change the second note using Note
Edit and then add the Slur figure. I don't know why it does not work in all cases, though.

My answer to that problem, which in my case is only a real problem if I have to use BB to print sheet music for other musicians, is simple enough, I print the part out and then pencil in the missing figure, then make a photocopy of the whole thing for distribution. Looks nice enough.
