Recently, I noticed that when placing notes in the studio, all of the notes are notated as sharps rather than flats. I think it would be a nice feature to be able to toggle this or allow both sharps and flats to be on the UI at the same time, as the majority of my music education used flats and I have to spend a little extra time thinking about what sharp note that would be. Thanks for your time!

arent sharps and flats the same?
sharp is one semitone up,
flats are the reverse of that, they are basically the same
I think he knows that.
They are functionally identical, but allow me to give you an analogy:
Let's say that you grew up using only roman numerals, but were then expected to understand how to use arabic symbols. While you can because the concept is the same, it makes it more difficult as you have to go through additional steps In your head.
The main reason I am asking for this feature is because I'm trying to put a piece on AT into sheet music, but the group I am writing it for is used to flats rather than sharps. So, I've been converting the notes, but it takes more time. Plus, it wouldn't take as much effort to adjust as many other Feature Requests.

C#=Db
its just one up
The trick is to think of the following letter of the alphabet to the one you see. That's the flat one. And for G, you think of A. Once you get into that habit, it's almost instantaneous. But I agree, it wouldn't hurt to have both note names.
Yeah, it's definitely not an essential feature because the transition isn't that difficult
just thought it would be nice
