I'm not an expert on this, but I always assumed the current automatic types were those that were used by convention in engraving. If you think it would be better to define some properties to control accidental display, then define the conventions by their settings of the properties, that might be useful. We'd then have the options of simply defining new accidental styles just by changing a few possibilities. It's also very easy to define what an accidental style is by referring to the properties (something analogous to break-visibility). > > If you think it is relevant and it is something "easy" to do, I can > try to do it as a frog with some helping directions. I have no idea how difficult this would be to do, but I'd be happy to provide whatever help I could. I think the first step is to plan what you'd like to accomplish, and propose the specific plan (not in terms of *how* to do it, but in terms of what it might look like in a LilyPond file. Once that's taken care of then we can talk about how to accomplish it.
