I think Daniel means the set of sharp or flats right from the clef.

Sorry, I don't know what it is?

I dont get that "comó", except if you mean "comió" (he ate).

"No te comas los acentos" is a similar matter.

Right. But in the sense of "a sharp" it is masculine. La nota itself  
is feminine. But la nota is not sustained, la nota is "un sostenido".

El Do sostenido. But:

Este Do es sostenido.

Esta nota es un sostenido. Now it comes:

Esta nota es ... (if without the article).

or, of course, está.

Sure, that's quite the normal way. Never heard it differently. Did you?

And in German, trousers are feminin, skirts are masculine and little  
girls are neuter.
