I could have sworn accidentals carry through to other octaves and will have to look for examples in print now. I just tried plugging some notes into Encore (4.5.3) and it corroborates the assertion that they do *not* carry to other octaves. Now I'll have to pay more attention when I play (weekly summer band concert tonight) and practice (make note to check what Rubank does in scale studies).
