Help needed: how to ask finale to reassess and remove unnecessary accidentals

Hello!

I imported into Finale 25 a musicxml file from a software called guitarPro.

The result is that I got a lot of unnecessary accidentals.

I wanted to ask finale to "reevaluate" the score and remove unneeded accidentals, but did not find the way to do so.

And to do manually....well...it is a 175 measures long score...there must be some intelligent way.

Can anyone help me ? I attach the file just in case.

Thanks

This plug-in Canonic Utilities can “clear” frozen accidentals.

Plug-ins menu > Scoring and Arranging > Canonic Utilities…

Have you tried that plug-in?

If you've got the full (ie extra paid for) version of TGTools, Music > Accidentals > Check Accidentals may do what you want.

Thank you so much David and Peter !!!!

I did NOT have the Check Accidentals tolls in TGTools...

But the “clear” frozen accidentals did the magic !!!

Thank you so much !!!!!

JW Change will also unfreeze accidentals.
