Touche.

I always keep it harmonically accurate in the score, and don't bother editing the score enharmonically until the parts are extracted...then, while formatting the parts, I'll notice something that should be changed. I suppose the new 'linked parts/score' capabilities of Finale will help with this...

For the time being, I'm the only one who might see the scores, so it doesn't really matter to me....

ALSO, my approach will differ depending on WHAT I'm writing - if it's background pads, then the harmony takes precedent; if it's contrapuntal melodic writing, the line will be more important... I'm a little goofy I guess.
