Re: a lot of accidentals. how do I notate them?

[Sarah k Alawami]

Actually the while cord is a quarter note so it is a extremely slow 4/4 like 
quarter equals 60. the only exception is when you have the dotted rhythm and 
now I see where i went wrong. I just forgot to subdivide.  Funny I do that all 
the time in my singing. I'll redo those parts. I'm surprised that no errors 
occurred in the compilation when I compiled at least that first part. lol!

You note a flat as being an f. In the manual they use ES not f and for sharp 
which makes sense they use "is" I'll look again at the manual and see.

Take care.
