has not been deleted, any subsequent notes of the same pitch assume that accidental
even if it does not appear by every notehead.

Deleting accidentals from multiple notes
Deleting accidentals from multiple notes works in a similar way to deleting an accidental from an
individual note, but more information is required for a selection that includes different types of
accidentals.
PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, select the group of notes whose accidentals you want to delete.
● If the notes are adjacent, select the rst note of the group, then Shift-click the last
note of the group.
● If the notes are separated by other notes, Ctrl/Cmd-click each note from which you
want to remove an accidental individually.
2. Optional: For a selection including just one type of accidental, deactivate that accidental in
one of the following ways:
● Press 0 to delete naturals.
● Press - to delete ats.
● Press = to delete sharps.
● Click the accidental in the Notes panel.
3. Optional: For a selection including multiple types of accidentals, click Natural in the Notes
panel, or press 0.
NOTE
Re-inputting an accidental over a selection of notes, where multiple accidentals are being
used, adds the accidental you choose 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 more, all accidentals are deleted.
Therefore, to delete accidentals from a selection with multiple accidentals, we recommend
that you input a natural by clicking Natural in the Notes panel, or by pressing 0.
Showing accidentals in parentheses
You can show individual accidentals in parentheses, and also hide/show accidentals individually.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the notes whose accidental appearance you want to change, or beside which you
want to show cautionary accidentals.
2. In the Properties panel, activate Accidental in the Notes and Rests group.
