strange enharmonic choices can be avoided?

Dear friends, sometimes EarMaster ( excellent!) is rather snobbish about enharmonic choices. Why for ex. it writes Cbb/D/Ab instead of the natural B/D/G# ? It happened the the program wrote Cb/Eb/Gb (key: C flat Major!!!) instead of B/D#/F# (B Major).
Or: in the interval recognition it shows for ex. D/G# and it calls it DIMINUED FIFTH and it takes this answer as CORRECT, but it is wrong, it is an augmented 4th!
I didn't find in settings something to influence the enharmonic choices, do you have any advices?
Thank you!

Hello,
We have not been able to reproduce the first situation you describe, but perhaps you could take a screenshot and send it by email to our support so that they may see what is going wrong.

For the enharmonic interval dim 5th/Aug 4th, this is unfortunately a limitation in EarMaster 5.

Thanks! To which email address? Or I can post images here in the forum?

You can post an image here using the Img tag but it requires that it is uploaded somewhere on the web. Otherwise, you can simply send it to support(replace with at)earmaster.com
