[sib-access] Re: [Bulk] quarter tone

It does exist, and it's in the More Accidentals template, but it is not for
key signatures, but is for notes only.

Hi,

I personally haven't read any scores with this kind of note in it. I 
just thought since sharp or flat notes are noted by the key signature, 
it would be relevant to also have these notes noted there.

So, does this accidental exist in Sibelius somewhere? And if yes, what 
is it called?

Thanks!
