Hiding flat/sharp for both key signature and accidentals
Hello,
it might sound very strange, but in my pursuit to show all non C-major keys with a different notehead, slightly offset, too, I would like to disable showing the flat/sharp symbol for both key signature and accidentals. Is there a way to do that programmatically?
(See https://github.com/PeterWurmsdobler/musescore/tree/main/simplicior for the concept)
Kind regards,
peter

It is interesting that there are plugins, in particular
courtesyAccidentals, that will show accidental symbols for those that are already defined for a given key, e.g. in the key of G-major showing an F# with a # symbol for every F# in the score.What I would like to do is quite the opposite. Since I would like to encode every accidental (in key or other) with a different notehead and/or colour, the accidental symbol becomes redundant. I would like not to show that symbol, but also not change the pitch or tonal pitch class.
That said, how does MuseScore work if one starts a score in say G-major and adds an F#4? I presume that it will add a note of appropriate pitch (=66) and tonal pitch class (=20 for F♯) to a chord, the chord to a segment, the segment on a measure on a staff.
What would I need to do if I change the shape of the F# programmatically in a plugin, change the key to
Atonal? This should not affect the pitch nor the tonal pitch class of the note?Further, what will happen if I change the accidental Type to null? Will this obliterate the tonal pitch class, or even pitch, or is the accidental property only for decoration?
