To add or change an accidental

  1. Click the Speedy Entry tool image\Speedy_Entry_Tool.gif. Click the measure containing the accidental.
  2. Position the insertion bar and crossbar on the notehead in question. Use the arrow keys or the mouse.
  3. Press the + key to raise the note’s pitch, and the key to lower it, by half steps. If you press these keys repeatedly, you can add up to seven sharps or flats to a note. If you press the CTRL key as you do so, all subsequent notes on the same line or space in the measure also change. See Speedy Entry tool for more accidental shortcuts.
