Accidental reminders

[charemor]

When adding an accidental to a note in one measure, say a B flat, in the next measure the B reverts back to a natural rather than continuing as a flat. Is there any way to put a natural in parenthesis in the following measure as a reminder?

Couldn't be easier (once you know the trick). In Simple Entry mode, highlight the natural note where you want a "courtesy accidental." Guess which key you press? Is it A for accidental? Nope. Nor N for natural. Nor C for courtesy.

No, you need to press "p" (unshifted) for "parentheses." Press it a second time to keep the natural without the parentheses around it.

To toggle a courtesy accidental regardless of parentheses, press [Ctrl][Shift][-] (that is, Control-Shift-Minus).
