A sharp, flat or natural outside the key signature is called an accidental. They are commonly used both for chromatic movement within the song (i.e. sharping the seventh in a minor key when resolving to the first) and for keychanges that will only last a few measures, such as using a run in Csharp to move from C to D.

What is a note which is neither sharp nor flat called?
A note which is neither sharp nor flat is called natural.A natural
What does the natural sign do to a sharp or flat in music?
A natural and a sharp before a note means that the note was previously a double-sharp and is now just a sharp.
What symbol is used to cancel a sharp or a flat?
A natural. If a natural is added before a note, then if that note is sharpened or flattened in the key signature, then for that one note that has the natural in front of it (and all of the rest of the same notes in the bar), it will not be sharpened or flattened. Eg. If I was composing a song in the key of D Major (F# and C# in the key signature) and I wanted a normal F (not sharp), then I would add a natural in front of it. And for the rest of the song, all of the Fs would still be sharpened.

What does a natural do to a note?
It either raises or lowers a note a semitone. It cancels the effect of a sharp or flat.
What does a key signature tell a musician?
The key signature tells you what the quality of each note in the piece will be (sharp, flat, or natural).
What does it mean when a sharp and a flat are in front of the same note?
Offhand, I would say that is a misprint. However, a natural and flat means to return to a normal flat note after a double-flat. For example, suppose you are in a key with B-flat in the key signature, but you have an E-flat diminished chord, which includes B-double-flat. After that you have a regular B-flat. The natural cancels the double-flat, and the single flat returns to the usual note. After a double-sharp, a natural and sharp would do the same thing.
What are the differences between a sharp, a flat, and a natural note in music theory?
In music theory, a sharp raises a note by a half step, a flat lowers a note by a half step, and a natural cancels out a sharp or flat to play the original note.
What is the difference between a sharp, flat, and natural note in music theory?

What is a note if not sharp or flat?

What does the natural sign do to a sharp or flat in music?
A natural and a sharp before a note means that the note was previously a double-sharp and is now just a sharp.
Does the sharp go in front of the note or after?
If the note is on the bar, the sharp (or flat, or natural) goes before the note. If you are just writing the note out, the sharp goes after the note.
What are the differences between a sharp, natural, and flat note in music theory?
In music theory, a sharp note raises the pitch of a note by a half step, a flat note lowers the pitch by a half step, and a natural note cancels out any previous sharp or flat alterations, returning the note to its original pitch.
What are the differences between flat, sharp, and natural notes in music?
Flat, sharp, and natural notes in music indicate changes in pitch. A flat note lowers the pitch by a half step, a sharp note raises the pitch by a half step, and a natural note cancels out any previous sharps or flats.
What symbol is used to cancel a sharp or a flat?
A natural. If a natural is added before a note, then if that note is sharpened or flattened in the key signature, then for that one note that has the natural in front of it (and all of the rest of the same notes in the bar), it will not be sharpened or flattened.

And for the rest of the song, all of the Fs would still be sharpened.
A symbol lowers a pitch 12 a step is?
That could be a flat if the note was previously natural, or a natural if the note was sharp.
