f, but unfortunately it depends on whose book you read. Mark it for sure, because it is unknowable what it "really" is. A worse problem is this, is the second f flat? The answer is no, and another flat is required. The reason is that each part should have its own accidentals so that it may be extracted. The reader should be able to read a score as if it were being read by more than one player, even on a single staff. Accidentals should be voice context, not staff context. The only case where you have one accidental for two voices is when the notes are played simultaneously. | | --O-- | |\ | ----|-|-b-O--------------O--|- | / | | --- |/----|--------------O--|--- /| | | | - /-|- ---|-------------|---|--- | /| \ | | | --\ | /---|-------------|---|--- -|- ----|- ---------------------|-- * - Examples abound in Riemanschneider's \textit{Bach Chorales} or see Piston's Harmony ex. 490 measure 2. (Brahms) or see George Thaddeus Jones's Music Theory, fig 341, measure 7, the a on beat 2. My old buddy, Gardner Read: "...all notated [sic] on one staff, one must be careful to repeat an accidental sign originally placed before a note in one voice, should another voice move to the same pitch." This is the best practice. I could not find anything about this in the docs, and it has been discussed before. :-) DaveA -- The biggest losers of all are the winners of an unjust war.
