1. Select the note to which the ornament is attached.
2. Open the Master Palette (Shift+F2, or View→Master Palette).
3. In the "Symbols" section, search using the terms "figured bass", and the name of the accidental.
4. Click on the desired (small) accidental to apply it to the note. Close the Master palette.
