Because b natural is used in the myrhythm in the first measure, a natural 
is used before that note head in the first measure.  Carl was just 
illustrating that pitch changes don't affect note head vertical positions. 
The best practice, I assume would be to use the root note of the chord 
rather than random notes and the accidentals should disappear.
