Purpose

The template correctly renders Unicode sharps () flats () and natural signs () in Internet Explorer which would show empty squares instead of the proper symbol.

The template also makes use of SVG to display double flat (Doubleflat.svg) and double sharp (DoubleSharp.svg) signs since the corresponding Unicode characters are nor widely supported.

Examples

Flat sign

{{accidental|flat}} renders
{{accidental|doubleflat}} renders File:Doubleflat.svg

Natural sign

{{accidental|natural}} renders

Sharp sign

{{accidental|sharp}} renders
{{accidental|doublesharp}} renders DoubleSharp.svg
