i have a confusing piano/keyboard/sheet music Question?

Question

As an example i'll try my best to explain.. At the begining of a stave after treble there are sometimes either flats or sharps indicating that each note on that scale are to be played as flat/sharp unless cancelled, but lets say there is a sharp on the fifth line (F) does that mean the applys to the other F too? (first gap note), Sorry for the poor example, its difficult to explain it without a diagram or stave.
Thanks for any answers.

Answer 1

it applies to every F up or down - unless
a natural is used (one time use) and then it reversed back to the #

or until a key change is made

Answer 2

Yes, the sharp will apply to all notes on that stave. There are rare occasions when (in piano music) the two hands are in different keys (Ives), but as a rule if there is a sharp on that line every F on the keyboard will be played sharp.
This changes if there is an accidental natural sign or flat sign for the rest of the measure/bar that you are currently playing.

Answer 3

yes, if a sharp # or a flat b is indicated at the begining of the score, where the the major/minor key of the music can be found. It applies to all the notes where the #/b is located unless is cancelled by a natural or raised higher by another # or lowered by another b.

Answer 4

Well if there is a (what looks to be a note in the beginning of the line that is raised and is is black with white inside), then it means that it is sharp is for the whole line. there would have to be one on the line to make it a sharp. But if there is not on in the first measure on that line then it is a flat! I hope this helped you

Answer 5

Yes, it does include all F's becuase it is trying to say use flats for all F's

Answer 6

yes it counts for all F's
