## Description

This plugin converts text representations of musical “accidental” symbols into actual
symbols. Type them into pages and blog posts like this:

 * A-flat
 * A-sharp
 * A-natural
 * A-double-flat
 * A-double-sharp

Displaying the symbols correctly is tricky, since it depends on the user’s operating
system, web browser, and installed fonts. The Accidentals plugin attempts to determine
whether the user’s system can display the symbols, and, if it’s not sure, falls 
back on the typed text. Bear in mind that even if you see the symbols on your own
computer, not all site visitors will necessarily see them. And if you don’t see 
them, some of your visitors will.

The advantage of this system is that it degrades gracefully to the typed text, even
if you uninstall the plugin.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/accidentals/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
