<div>This is definitely Finale resetting the tie end bit (as
it can do at any time.) The interesting part is, what's
triggering it is saving the empty layer 2 frame in bar 2.
The `eachentrysaved` function <a href="https://github.com/finale-lua/lua-source/blob/master/built-in-functions/rgplua_built_in_functions.lua" target="_blank">uses FCNoteEntryCell </a>to hold
the frames. By default, a frame for all four layers is
created. (This allows a script to insert notes into empty
frames, for example.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You can limit the layers it loads with SetLoadLayerMode.
Then the empty for loop will not reset the tie end:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>local region=finale.FCMusicRegion()<br>
region:SetFullDocument()<br>
for e in eachentrysaved(region, 1) do<br>
end</div>
<br>
</div>
<div>Weirdly, even freezing the accidental doesn't preserve it
from this Finale bug. A helpful addition might be a new
loadlayermode that loads only the frames that are there, which
could be different cell by cell.</div>

<div dir="ltr">This is almost certainly Finale recalculating
the Tie End bits when the TGF is saved, but I'll check it.
Finale can recalculate ties at any point, so if you don't
want an accidental it should be forced.<br>

<br>
the following simple "Do nothing, except save" script on
the attached score makes an accidental appear on the
layer 2 note in measure 3:<br>
<br>
local region=finale.FCMusicRegion()<br>
region:SetFullDocument()<br>
local e<br>
for e in eachentrysaved(region) do <br>
end <br>
<br>
Is this the expected behaviour?<br>
It may not be best practice to use the "TieBackwards
/Tie End" flag to hide the accidentall as the tie comes
from another layer.<br>
However, eachentrysaved should not remove
the TieBackwards flag either.<br>
<br>
When running the loop with eachentry, everything remains
like it is. <br>
(tested with RGP Lua 0.66 and 0.73)<br>
