If this is really true then you have found a bug, but I assume that you made a typo and that you meant Db's instead of D's (or did you mean "natural sign" instead of "flat"?) > which as any musician will > tell > you is not what is automatically implied.

No, this is definitely not true - I know a lot of musicians - and we ALL agree that accidentals needs to be repeaten in new octaves. Kurt Stone has more on 20th century common notation - and he also states this. > Is > there any way to turn off this behaviour? You don't state which Lily you use. In 1.4.anything there's not much you can do. I don't think it's possible to turn off the auto-accidentals - and if you remove the accidental engraver completelhy I don't even think that explicit accidentals are typeset. In 1.5.enough you can add \property Score.autoAccidentals = #'((measure-any-octave . 0)) (Syntax about to change - as soon as I get time) to the start of the music. measure-any-octave means that the accidentals are remembered for a number of measures and in all octaves. 0 means that they "survive" over 0 bar lines. That is: They die at the end of the measure. If you wan't to turn off automatical accidentals (and place them yourself with ! and ?) then use \property Score.autoAccidentals = \turnOff Rune Zedeler Otte Ruds Gade 44A 4tv 8200 Århus N Tel: 86786563 _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
