Chromatic alterations

Normally accidentals are printed automatically, but you may also print them manually. A reminder accidental can be forced by adding an exclamation mark ! after the pitch. A cautionary accidental (an accidental within parentheses) can be obtained by adding the question mark `?' after the pitch:

       cis' cis' cis'! cis'?

The automatic production of accidentals can be tuned in many ways. For more information, refer to Accidentals.
