Restating accidentals after intervening change of pitch (Second Viennese School)

If you use the Second Viennese School accidental duration rule, you can allow that an immediate repetition of the same note, including those on either side of an intervening rest, within the same bar does not require the accidental to be restated.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, choose Write > Notation Options.

    The Notation Options dialog opens.

  2. In the Flows list, select the flows in which you want to change the Second Viennese School rule for restating accidentals in one of the following ways:
    • Ctrl/Cmd-click individual flows.

    • Shift-click adjacent flows.

    • Click Select All.

    By default, only the current flow is selected when you open the dialog.

  3. Select Accidentals from the Category menu.
  4. In the Second Viennese School options section, choose Restate after intervening change of pitch for Accidentals on immediate repetitions of the same note within a bar.
  5. Click Apply, then Close.
