Accidentals raise or lower the pitch of an existing note by a small interval . Notion not only supports traditional flat, sharp,

and natural symbols – you also have access to quarter-tone accidentals if you use Option 1 (with Music Cursor) below . A

different method, Option 2 (without the Music Cursor), enables you to make half-step changes directly to existing notes .
You must be in Edit mode .

Option 1: Alter with Music Cursor

To add an accidental to an existing note, select the type of accidental you need so it appears on your Music Cursor . Use a
keyboard shortcut or in the Entry Palette hover over the second pane from the left:

2 . Click the mouse or press Enter .
3 . Since the accidental symbol is still on your Music Cursor, you can add this mark to as many other notes as you want .
