| Jan 31, 2023 at 16:29 | comment | added | Andy Bonner | Whenever I need to mark an accidental by hand, either because it was printed wrong or I need a reminder, I do this. I find it easier to notice than if I've tried to scribble over the staff lines and squeeze it between the notes. | |
| Jan 31, 2023 at 16:27 | comment | added | Aaron | @Tim Well, that's the usual purpose, but it's note wholly uncommon to see them used otherwise. Durand is being very, very courteous. | |
| Jan 31, 2023 at 16:13 | comment | added | Tim | @Aaron - it's all French to me... but, courtesy accidentals generally remind readers of a previously changed note in the same octave, surely? | |
| Jan 31, 2023 at 16:04 | comment | added | Aaron | @Tim The c.a. in bar 8 is because of the LH in bar 7; bar 20 is due to the RH in bar 19. Bar 17 I can't explain, except that perhaps the editor felt the need to clarify the upcoming accidental in bar 18. Weird, but, you know, it the French.... :-) | |
| Jan 31, 2023 at 15:48 | comment | added | Tim | The courtesy accidentals in bars 8, 17 and 20 seem superfluous - they're not reminding the reader of any previous changed notes. Only bar 10 seems to be useful. What have I missed? However, it's quite a nice way to remind (when appropriate). | |
