You can input microtonal accidentals, such as a quarter tone flat or three quarter tones sharp, into your project.

Prerequisite

For the section of your project where you want to input microtonal accidentals, you have changed the tonality system to one that allows microtonal accidentals, such as Equal temperament (24-EDO, Stein-Zimmermann).

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select the note or notes to which you want to apply a microtonal accidental.
  2. In the Key Signatures, Tonality Systems, and Accidentals panel, click the microtonal accidental you want in the Accidentals section.

Result

The selected microtonal accidental appears beside the selected note or notes.
