Do you have Automatic Update Layout turned on? Do you have Avoid Collision of Accidentals turned on? Have you tried Apply Music Spacing and Update Layout (manually?)
Is this in all documents, or just this one?

tolga_tavis,
I am not sure what layout you need..
Take a look at the attached Finale 2014 document*).
Is this the layout you need?
*) To attach the document here in the forum I changed the file name extension from .musx to .zip.
Do not worry.
After you have downloaded my document, just change the file name extension back to .musx, and Finale 2014 can open the document without problems.

Yes this seems ok for me... How could you do it? Manually?

Yes, manually:tolga_tavis wrote:Yes this seems ok for me... How could you do it? Manually?…
The trick is to hide the "real" Layer 2 accidental, and add the accidental in Layer 1, since Finale correctly spaces accidentals and notes that are in the same layer.
You only have to do so in the top staff, since the new spacing will also affect the bottom staff.
In measure 2 (with the G♭) I forced the ♭ on the D♭ to show, and moved the ♭ up by 9 Points (1 scale step = 3 Points).
In measure 3 (with the B♭♭) I added (between the two F♭s) a D♭♭, replaced its notehead character with a blank character, and moved the ♭♭ down by 6 Points.

Hmm... Not to practical, but it seems this is the only way... But it effects the playback doesn't it?...
And how do you change the places of the flats? you mentioned "points" but i didn't get it.

In the document I attached, you can not hear the effect in playback because I de-selected playback for the “layout note”.tolga_tavis wrote:…But it effects the playback doesn't it?…
This was done in the very technical Speedy Entry Tool dialog box Edit Frame.

Click the sub-tool Accidental Mover Tool.
Click inside the staff/measure to make handles appear on the noteheads.
Drag-select the handle on the accidental you want to move, and hit the Return key.
Enable “Allow Vertical Positioning”.
To move the accidental down by 6 Points (= 2 scale steps), enter -6pt in the field “Vertical Positioning”.
I hope that this is clear?
If not, ask again.

Wow... Edit Frame is difficult to deal with...This was done in the very technical Speedy Entry Tool dialog box Edit Frame.
Anyway i think i understand everything correctly. Thank you for your patience and concern...

Definitely Finale is not capable enough for placing accidentals in such complex situations. A musician should not spend too much time to fix it.
