Guys,
if there was a accidental at the end of a bar and in the first note of the next bar there was exactly same note that previously had a accidental, do you count it as an accidental or leave it as it is.

the rule is accidentals carry through one bar only, so the sharp/flat note at the end of one bar returns to natural in the next.  But a tied note keeps the accidental.
