Change accidental tone

• Apr 29, 2025 - 07:09

Greeting,

I write Arabic music. In Arabic music, we use half flat and half sharp. I don't have an issue with half sharp, but the half flat symbol used in Arabic music is different than MuseScore. I circled the notes in the attachment that I need to change its tone from the measure below to the notes in the measure above it?

I mean, I want to make the tone of (b with cross line) like the tone of (b with small arrow above it).

Regards,

The cent offsets of the accidentals is hard coded into MuseScore Studio

    // Gould arrow quartertone
    Acc(AccidentalVal::NATURAL,  -50,   SymId::accidentalQuarterToneFlatArrowUp),          // FLAT_ARROW_UP
    Acc(AccidentalVal::NATURAL, -150,   SymId::accidentalThreeQuarterTonesFlatArrowDown),  // FLAT_ARROW_DOWN
...
    // Arel-Ezgi-Uzdilek (AEU)
    Acc(AccidentalVal::NATURAL,  -89,   SymId::accidentalBuyukMucennebFlat),    // FLAT_SLASH2
    Acc(AccidentalVal::NATURAL,  -44,   SymId::accidentalBakiyeFlat),           // FLAT_SLASH
    Acc(AccidentalVal::NATURAL,   56,   SymId::accidentalKucukMucennebSharp),   // SHARP_SLASH3
    Acc(AccidentalVal::NATURAL,   89,   SymId::accidentalBuyukMucennebSharp),   // SHARP_SLASH2

So it is 44 cent flat, not 50 flat (100 cent being a semitone)
