6.1.3 Cautionary accidentals

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 (i.e., an accidental within parentheses) can be obtained by adding the question mark ‘?’ after the pitch. These extra accidentals can be used to produce natural signs, too.

The automatic production of accidentals can be tuned in many ways. For more information, see Automatic accidentals.
