You are absolutely right, they are placed on the line where the note is sharpened.  I had no idea.  I just counted them.

You live and learn.  Thanks.]]> Bass Players Discussion hbriem https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/sharps-and-flats/#post-49797 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/sharps-and-flats/#post-49796 Wed, 21 Jan 2004 10:46:04 +0000 Hey helgi, I thought the sharps (or flats) were placed on the line that represents the note(s) that are sharpened or flattened in that key?  Feel free to correct me here (theory's not my strongest area ;D),  but I noted that on the sheet music that chasumdeep had the sharps were on the F, C, and G notes being sharpened, which are the three notes that are sharp in G Major.

Do you think that makes sense? ??? :)

If you go up by 5ths from C, G has 1 #, D has 2 and A has 3#.  So your music is in the key of A major.
