Is there anyway to write cautionary accidents in Notion?
They appear between parenthesis, like (#), and i can't find it anywhere. |
you can force Notion to show an accident even when it's not necessary (if you add manually a # to the note it will be put regardless there's already a # on that note in the same measure).
Sadly Notion doesn't have accidentals in parenthesis. When I really need the parentheses I just add a text object "( )" to the note and position it correctly. It works and it's easy, but if your score is full of these you may have some work.

* If you use the "( )" trick I said, it works better if you right-click on the text element, and in the context menu ->attachment->align right. Then you position it around the accidental.
This works and can be copied. The "( )" stays in place horizontally. (but It doesn't stay in place vertically if you transpose or change the pitch)

from the book :
Notion permits you to force accidentals on the score for use as courtesy reminders. For example, in a score in the key of F, you can place a flat on an B (even though it is already flat in the key) where this will help guide live musicians sight-reading your score. like how come they don't show how ?!? |
Hi,
for the Key of F as in your example, press the 2 key located above the letters on the computer keyboard, that will make the cursor a flat. On your score, position the cursor on the note head of a B and click. The flat will be placed even though the B is already flat due to the key signature. Very simple. I don't believe there is a way to automatically show ALL of the accidentals in the entire score. You have to place the courtesy accidentals 1 at a time. |
I just thought of a way to show all accidentals at once (except naturals) - but it removes the true key signature:
Let's say the score is in Db. If the score is completed with all of the accidentals in place, if you go back to the beginning and change the key signature to Cmaj, the accidentals will show on all of the individual notes |
