Don't you mean "*" to show/hide the accidental? The 9 key flips the enharmonics, which is not going to hide an accidental (it will probably make it worse!). > The forced display (or hiding) of an accidental > might persist, even though the note were moved to another pitch, > although the forced display was canceled if the note was deleted and > re-entered.
