Subj: [kl] Accidental Usage Question
Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2007 13:50:09 -0400

This appears to be OT, but given that I and the person with whom I'm having
a difference of opinion are both clarinet players, perhaps you can indulge
me:

When an accidental is used in musical notation, does it apply to just the
pitch noted, or does it also apply to nominally identical pitches in other
octaves? (i.e., if third line b is flatted, is 2nd space below the staff b
flatted also?). Do you have an authoritative reference for this (other than
Wikipedia)?

Thanks!
Bill Daniluk
