Hymnals are good too, lots of harmony in a short space, but general simple keys and accidentals. | |

Hard to read. Folk and earlier classical will be easier to read, chromatic elements will be there, but generally less of it, and the key signatures tend to be simpler. | |

@Emil, that is correct. It can become confusing in certain situations. But keep in mind in my example of that - C# in a key signature of C flat, which is +2 semitones - I gave it as an example of a bad enharmonic spelling, which is bad because it's confusing.

| Jan 6, 2022 at 20:37 | comment | added | Emil | You mean a sharp accidental does not always mean "+1 semitone" to whatever is in the key signature? This is so confusing, perhaps I have never encountered one of them in a song yet, hmm. | |
