NOTE

● Deleting accidentals causes accidentals to appear on any subsequent notes of the same

pitch in the same bar. You can check the pitch of notes by selecting them and looking in the

status bar.

● To delete accidentals from a selection of notes with different accidentals, we recommend

that you revert them all to natural by pressing 0 or clicking Natural in the Notes panel. This

is because re-inputting an accidental over a selection of notes with different accidentals adds

that accidental to every note in the selection. For example, two G

♯s followed by two G♭s

become four G

♯s if you re-input a sharp. If you click Sharp or press = twice, all accidentals

are deleted.
