Hi,

You can force accidentals to show up by selecting 'Show Accidental' under the 
Note menu.

Hi Heidi,

Accidentals  can be tricky.  You have to remember  that  a written
accidental  applies  for the entire  measure, and then  is gone  in the next
measure.  For example, in E-flat Major, say you have two notes  on the line
representing  E, and no key signature, or rather, the key signature  is
C-Major.  And  if you position  the cursor  on the first  note E, and  lower
it by  one half step, an accidental  flat will be put there, and  an
accidental  natural  will automatically  appear  on the second  note.  And
then  you move the cursor  to the second  E, and lower  that  note by a half
step, the accidental  disappears, because  the  first accidental still holds
to the end of the measure.

One way to get around this is  to  use  whole notes  in  a common  time
signature.  That way  each note will have  its own  accidental as required,
and  not have the accidental  carry  through  to another  occurrence  of
that  note in the same measure.
