sharp and flat

• Apr 13, 2023 - 02:20

Good morning
I have a small question about the sharp and flat
when I make traditional sheet music and tablature
I realize when I make the same chord, the second is displayed in sharp and flat?
Why ???

The accidentals placed on the first chord hold for the entire measure, unless cancelled by a natural (or by a different accidental).
So...
The second chord does not need accidentals for the top 2 notes because they carry over from the first chord.
However...
The second chord does need the sharp sign for the bottom note (F#) because the original sharp (on the first chord) was cancelled by the natural sign.

thank you for the answer
It's been at least 20 years since I've played an electric guitar.
and everything has been modernized since
I'm going to have to review the solfege
if I understand correctly, it's kind of a typo
if I modify a note of a chord, the note is altered or carries over to the next chord
That's what I understand from what you tell me
maybe I'm wrong
anyway, I have to review the music theory and the chords
I will eventually understand
thank you again for your answer

It carries through the rest of the measure, so it could carry over to a chord or to only a single note. So, for instance, an F that gets sharped remains sharp for the duration of the measure whether the F appears as part of a chord or as a single note.
A natural sign (or a different accidental) placed on the F will cancel the sharp.

OK
I understand the natural sign that restores to the original note
that's it
I think I understood
I quote :
"""The first C contains an accidental, i.e. a sharp. No great difficulty. According to the previous rule, the second C (in the first measure) also contains an accidental. The second C must be played even if there is no sharp written in front of the note. The third C in the second measure, for its part, does not carry an accidental. Why? Because according to the previous rule: "in a measure, each time a note is altered, the second note of the same name and therefore of the same pitch, will also be """
thanks again
