Remarks

An accidental may raise a pitch by one or two semitones or it may cancel a previous accidental or part of a key signature. This element provides an alternative to the @accid and @accid.ges attributes on the <note> element. The element may be used when specific display info, such as size or color, needs to be recorded for the accidental or when multiple accidentals occur on a single note. The @func attribute can be used to differentiate between the accidental’s functions, such as 'cautionary' or 'editorial'.
