Normally accidentals are printed automatically, but you may also print them manually. A reminder accidental can be forced by adding an exclamation mark `!` after the pitch. A cautionary accidental (i.e. an accidental within parentheses) can be obtained by adding the question mark ``?`' after the pitch

>          cis' cis' cis'! cis'?
