An accidental applies to the note that immediately follows it and to subsequent instances of that note in the same measure, unless it is canceled by another accidental. A sharp raises a note's pitch by a semitone and a flat lowers it by a semitone. Double flats (double flat) or sharps (double sharp) may also be used, altering the unmodified note by two semitones. If a note with an accidental is tied, the accidental continues to apply, even if the note it is tied to is in the next measure. If a note has an accidental and the note is repeated in a different octave, notation conventions vary. In modern notation, an accidental should be indicated on the second note to clarify, but some older notation assumes that the initial accidental applies across octaves.[citation needed]
