Sound set is available to purchase within Staffpad. You click on Store on the top menu and the instruments available are listed.
If accordion is a sound set you're wanting, my favourite Kontakt accordion is Soni Music Diato, a small 21 key - 8bass diatonic accordion. It is a multi-instrument comprising two treble instruments a bass one. http://sonimusicae.free.fr/diato-en.html

I should clarify, Kontakt doesn't work in Staffpad to my knowledge.
I use Musecore also and it has worked well for me.
Hi Glug,
Do you have any idea why that post is closed for additional replies?
That seems like a fantastic piece of work, and I would like to add something there.
Paul, is there any chance of opening that post for additional replies?
Thanks, Simon
I have no idea how this works. Knobby is this site's administrator.
I know the forum has been moved to different software a few years back and that restricted what could be done with older archived threads, but I don't know whether that's the case here or not. (Besides that the forum has also been moved to a new hosting service shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, to move the hosting out of Russia.)
I used to use Finale briefly... about 15 years ago... lol
I had no complaints, it was easy and great to work with at the time.

My experience with Finale was also about 15 years ago, having to use it for a class... and it left such a bad taste in my mouth I have never looked at it again.
But different people's minds work in different ways. Finale's workflow must be good for SOMEone.
Sort of the way some people like Windows and some people like Macs. Maybe you have to be a Mac user to like Finale.

Flat IO is good because it has enough features for accordion scores and a shallow learning curve. Not suitable for commercial publishing but I don't think any of us are in that! It also integrates with Google and android.

I recently tried the new Musescore 4. I liked it other than trying to add fingerings, it seemed like a pain to get them to all line up neatly on a horizontal plane. Maybe there was something I missed? It also threw a bit of a wobbly when opening a v2.1.0 source file from @debra that was made in an earlier version, scrambling up a load of the notation. I think it was his Air duo arrangement
Flat.io was easier to get going with but Musescore's feature of importing a PDF is really useful!

Here's what happened vs what it should look like when opening an earlier source file
It is really sad that each new major version of Musescore loses the ability to render music made with earlier versions juas as they were with the earlier version. A Musescore 2 file is always scrambled by Musescore 3, and it looks like the new Musescore 4 agan scrambles scores made with either Musescore 2 or 3...
So I now have and keep Musescore 2 and 3 installed and I will soon start working with Musescore 4, only for new arrangements.

I use it on Windows.
Hiya, I've just added a new thread for comments on the original.

Do any of the apps you all are using (other than MuseScore 2 or 3) support accordion registers and "standard" (American) accordion bass chord notation, including playback?

Lilypond has the register symbols built in, but does not have playback of the register changes or the AAA chord symbols built in.
I wrote an add-on for Lilypond 2.22 to enable those (and just as one can still get MuseScore 3, one can still get Lilypond 2.22 instead of 2.24) but have yet to rewrite it to work with Lilypond 2.24.

Notion doesn’t have accordion sounds or standard full chord notation built in, but it does have the AAA chord symbols. And if I want to hear the chords played back alongside the tune I can quickly add an extra staff with chord sounds playing throughout the bars. I do have an Italian accordion sound added in myself, via the VST digitised sound imports Notion offers. Full expanded chords could be written directly in the notation with an effort. But I personally prefer the simpler lead sheet approach, which suits my needs.

I'm not noticing that problem, although I'm still on 3, so maybe they changed something?
In any case (and you might know this already), if you open the "inspector" window, that gives you more fine-grained control over positioning. For fingerings, you'll want to tweak the "Offset: Y:" value.

I managed it but it was more time consuming than I'd have liked!
