Yes. > Some of the other posts here suggest that > using courtesy accidentals in this fashion > might be passe. Personally, I don't care whether it's passé. I care whether it helps the player play the music better, sooner. > For my part, I'm very comfortable reading the > new key change without courtesy accidentals. That may also be the case for a lot of musicians with a lot of playing experience. But I want the music I publish to be as accessible as possible to less experienced players as well. > I do like courtesy accidentals for notes, and > I like to see them in parens. > What's your "house style" here? I prefer them in parentheses as well, but since Finale doesn't automatically put them in parentheses, that's OK with me, too. My "house style" is basically Finale Win2003 defaults, except for the font and font size for the title, composer and copyright notice, and the margins.
