Accidentals
The Accidentals pane selects the overall method used to select accidentals: Traditional, Vienna II, Modernist or Salzedo.

Traditional notation of accidentals is taken further in Igor than in any other program. Igor actively analyses the music and suggests intelligent courtesy accidentals, even taking other staves into account. You have full control over this process, of course.
 


But Igor also notates accidentals using the conventions of the Second Vienna School or of the Post-War modernists: if you write or publish music of this kind, Igor will spare you the labour of manually having to adjust and replace accidentals to conform with modern notation, it's built in right from the start. We've even included Salzedo notation. And since Igor is designed to be a universal tool, the box "Notes tied over barlines repeat their accidental" allows you to notate music according to French custom. Igor will insert a reminder accidental automatically.
