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

[Sarah k Alawami]

k. I think it's starting to click a bit. but for the naturals and stuff do I 
still mark them? I don't' want this piece to sound a mess if I ever get a 
chance to hear it lol!

Ok so how will lily pond know the difference between the 3 minors? There are a 
flat and a naturals and stuff all over the place so if I just write
g4 a g4. f8 e4 |

How will it know to write an a flat not an a natural? I did read the manual on 
this part but it still is a bit confusing especially when you have perfect 
pitch lol! I will get the hang of this.

Take care all and be blessed.
