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

[Sarah k Alawami]

Yeah true.  Im one of those people who  need to pencil in every single one and 
I'm sure my instructor might say the  same thing.  I would hope most of them 
though are somewhat familiar with this piece even though they might not be be 
able to play it.

Thanks all. Onward and upwards.
