Add unison
It seems rather odd to me that when you use the shortcut for Enter unison above, you get a note consistent with the key signature and the note you are adding it to is ignored. For example, I have an E-flat in a score in the key of G (1 sharp). I pressed alt+1 and an E-natural was added.
I realize this is consistent with what happens in other situations when the interval is greater than a unison. I'm used to that and adjust the notes as necessary automatically to assure any accidentals are accounted for. It seems that entering a unison should actually produce a unison.
Thoughts?

As I continue with my current project, I realized that Entering an Octave above or below (I have a shortcut for this) adds a perfect octave without regard to the key signature. I do this a lot, I don't add unisons as often and hadn't previously noticed this issue with unisons before. It is therefore a problem (IMHO a bug) that needs fixed.

I was intrigued by this and tried a little experimentation. I found the situation is even worse than you describe. If you enter a crotchet C# (3rd space treble clef) say and add a unison you indeed find that a Cnat has been added, but there is no natural accidental. It looks like you have to C#s but it sounds ... well you know what augmented unisons sound like! Clicking on the lefthand notehead sounds the Cnat, clicking on the righthand notehead sounds the C#.
Must be a bug!

And while we are looking at this, why does the menu offer a unison ABOVE? Why not just a unison?

If you mean the shortcuts menu, this is probably for consistency's sake. All of the the other defined intervals are above, but there is no option to define a shortcut for unison BELOW, unlike all of the other intervals. That label is understandable but could be improved by eliminating ABOVE. I did notice the accidental is not always present, but sometimes is.
