Jari et al.,<br>
<br>
here is a weird accidental movement behaviour.<br>
<br>
When I use the Accidental Mover tool (or FCAccidentalMod ->
HorizontalPos) and change the horizontal position to a new value,
the accidental jumps onto the notehead (!) and takes the notehead as
a new reference position.<br>
This Finale document was created with Fin2002a.<br>
The normal behaviour is that the change of the horizontal position
keeps the reference position (i.e. far before the notehead) and
moves only according to the new value.<br>
<br>
See this video:<br>
First the weird behaviour, then the normal behaviour (in the Fin2014
default document):<br>

<br>
While making this video I also noticed, that sometimes the anchor
point changed (!).<br>
So maybe there used to be a flag in Finale (<=2002) which changed
the alignment point of the accidental.<br>
Have a look at the 23. second in this video: I click on the anchor
point and it suddenly jumps from the right of the accidental to the
left of the accidental.<br>

When the anchor point jumps (but this only happens very seldom, and
I can't reproduce it) and I check the FCAccidentalMod it suddenly
returns a -54 EVPU value for HorizontalPos. While by default (when
the anchor point hasn't jump before) it returns no existing
accidental mod and thus a 0 EVPU value.<br>
<br>
I haven't found a way to detect or to remove this behaviour yet.
Probably it's not even possible.<br>
Attached is the document with the measure from the video where this
weird thing happens.<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
The only thing that came to mind: it was created with Fin2002a. <br>
Maybe this was a bug in Fin2002a which they fixed in 2002b? <br>
Or this was something available before 2002, but not supported
anymore.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
