Accidentals: turn off the default

• Jul 7, 2024 - 14:27

V4 by default "turns off" an accidental within a measure. My question is how to stop this behavior.

Example. If I place a sharp accidental on, say, an A and the beginning of a measure, Musescore automatically puts a natural marker on the next A in the measure. And if I delete the natural mark on the second A, Musescore affixes another natural on the third A. And so forth.

After much searching I haven't been able to discover a way to turn this off. Not sure why it is the default in the first place, since the convention is that an accidental holds through the measure. thanks in advance! Malcolm

That's just how music works, an accudental is valid until the end of the measure
If you enter the notes left to right and start with an A#, the next A will be an A# sharp too
Only if you enter several As, then change the 1st A to an A#, you see what you describe
