Microtonal accidentals are sometimes referred to as '''inflections'''. Using this term allows the term ''accidental'' to refer exclusively to sharps, flats and naturals. Accidentals and inflections may then be referred to collectively as '''alterations'''. This terminology facilitates discussions of microtonal scores, especially in rank-1 and rank-2 systems. | |||
