Greetings Abraham,

Thank you for your quick response, and sorry for my slow reply. Your
clarification regarding the doubleflat stencil was as I had suspected.
But then this spurred the desire to affect my own doubleflat sign, one
that is as clear yet compact as the doublesharp. So I have been
exploring the snippets and bits of information in the NR regarding the
use of postscript and path. I do have two questions which I am sure
are wildly basic. If I will write some postscript commands, where is
considered the origin? In the case of an accidental, would it be the
notehead which it is altering? Second, is there a way of seeing the
postscript which was used to create an existing stencil?

Thank you so much.
