Well, right, that is my point. Accidental notes are notes that aren’t in the
current key (signature). These are different distinctions:
1. sharp/flat notes & natural notes
2. notes not in the key (accidental notes) & notes in the key (???)
I don’t know that there's any term that’s the complement to “accidental notes”
(besides writing out “notes in the key”).
