Accidentals usually apply to all repetitions within the measure in which they appear, unless canceled by another accidental sign, or tied into the following measure. A note is usually raised or lowered by a semitone, and there are double sharps or flats, which raise or lower the indicated note by two semitones.
In the measure (bar) where it appears, an accidental sign raises or lowers the immediately following note (and any repetition of it in the bar) from its normal pitch, overriding the key signature. In some kinds of musical style, there are also the half sharp as well as half flat, sometimes also called quarter tone. In musical notation, the sharp ( ♯), flat ( ♭), and natural ( ♮) symbols, among others, mark such notes-and those symbols are also called accidentals.
In music, an accidental is a note of a pitch (or pitch class) that is not a member of the scale or mode indicated by the most recently applied key signature. From left to right: flat, natural, and sharp.
