I have been using DMCS on my 1000 have not experienced this inconvenience
mentioned.  My hunch is that you have clicked on the sharp button and therefore
its default mode is to place sharps on the staff.  To fix this problem, click
on the "CLR MOD" button.  This button should clear all modifications to the
entered note such as triplets, dots, sharps, etc.  
I hope this works.
