to have the minimum number of accidentals. In that case, ``Double
accidentals should be removed, as well as E-sharp (-> F), bC (-> B),
bF (-> E), B-sharp (-> C).'', as proposed by a request for a new feature.
-In this example, the double accidentals are removed after transposing
-C scale to Ais.
+In that manner, the most natural enharmonic notes are chosen in this example.
