I'm transcribing a piece by Verdi into PM chiefly to generate audio files for the choir members. One note is a double sharp followed three notes later in the same bar by an accidental denoted by a natural and a sharp. I added the double sharp using a "+", but how do I add the natural & sharp accidental, please?

1) Today it is considered obsolete to display both the natural and the sharp.
The sharp alone will do, according to modern tradition.
And that is what PrintMusic does by default.

2) With "the full Finale" it is easy to display both the natural and the sharp.
However, in PrintMusic you can only do it with a workaround.
An idea: Add the natural as an articulation.
