<<For accidentals: Sharpen the accidentals on C, F and G; the others read as
is.>>

Dave, please forgive me for being picky, but accidentals are those sharps and
flats -- not in the key signature -- which are placed before specific notes
within a measure in the piece being played. Again, to play ANY bass clef
music on a contra-alto clarinet in EEb, read it as treble clef and add three
sharps to the key signature. So if you're in the written key of D, you'll
add three sharps for a total of five (F,C,G, D, A). In the key of F, you'll
add three sharps to for a total of two (F, C) one of those sharps cancels the
orignal one flat (Bb).
