For example, I sometimes get asked if an accidental in one octave affects another octave. (Where are these otherwise fine musicians taught anyway?) I find it an especially strange question when the music is far from tonal.
I've had trouble with this one - fine musicians in the Metropole Orchestra assumed that an accidental in a lower octave carried over to a higher octave. I did not intend that, and the result was that I missed the error in the rehearsals and recorded the piece with the wrong pitch. (Not doing my job as well as I should have been.) So what is the rule, and does it change from place to place and culture to culture? I have assumed, new octave = new situation. Perhaps this is not right.
