30s - Q12
The note you were just looking at was a B for the flutes/lows/perc, C# for clarinet/trumpet, F# for horns, and G# for saxes. In measure 6, it appears on beat 2. Are the rest of the notes in that measure the same note?
Yes - the accidental stays for the rest of the measure.
No - You should switch back to Bb or C or F or G because the other notes don't have the accidental
