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 first 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 flats.

    • 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 Gs followed by two Gs become four Gs 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.
