Hi, You can force accidentals to show up by selecting 'Show Accidental' under the Note menu.

Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2011 20:07:12 -0400 Hi Heidi, Accidentals can be tricky. You have to remember that a written accidental applies for the entire measure, and then is gone in the next measure. For example, in E-flat Major, say you have two notes on the line representing E, and no key signature, or rather, the key signature is C-Major. And if you position the cursor on the first note E, and lower it by one half step, an accidental flat will be put there, and an accidental natural will automatically appear on the second note. And then you move the cursor to the second E, and lower that note by a half step, the accidental disappears, because the first accidental still holds to the end of the measure. One way to get around this is to use whole notes in a common time signature. That way each note will have its own accidental as required, and not have the accidental carry through to another occurrence of that note in the same measure. patrick ____________________________________________________________ 57-Year-Old Mom Looks 25 Mom Reveals $5 Wrinkle Trick That Has Angered Doctors! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/4e604cb1a813c1dfb7est01duc ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:goodfeel-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** goodfeel-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:goodfeel-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subjectúq] ** or send a message, to ** goodfeel-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
