In musical notation, a natural sign (♮) is an accidental sign used to cancel a flat or sharp from either a preceding note or the key signature.
What does it mean when a note has a natural and sharp?
In most cases, a sharp raises the pitch of a note one semitone while a flat lowers it one semitone. A natural is used to cancel the effect of a flat or sharp. ... An accidental can also be used to cancel a previous accidental or reinstate the flats or sharps of the key signature.
Does a natural cancel out a sharp?
A natural sign is another type of accidental that is used to cancel out any key that is sharped or flatted. It can cancel a flat or sharp from the same measure, or it can cancel it out from the key signature that is noted at the beginning of the sheet music.
