I have what I think is an odd problem with accidentals.
The piece I am working on is a Viola etude in E minor.
In the original score the composer needs an E natural and this is
achieved
by a concatenated combination of a natural sign and a flat sign.
The note in question is an F, which is sharp in the key signature, so
the
natural symbol presumably
cancels the F# to F and the flat symbol (alongside the natural symbol)
then indicates
F flat or E natural.
Is there please a way to typeset this in Lilypond ?
This is the only time I've seen such notation, so Im guessing its rare
?
Usually, the presence of the flat would automatically cancel out any
potential sharp, so the inclusion of a preceding natural is overly
cautious.
You can of course customize the stencil of a note's accidental to have
it render as a "natural flat" as such:
%%%%
\version "2.19.82"
{ \clef bass \key e \minor
\tweak Accidental.stencil
#(lambda (grob)(grob-interpret-markup grob
#{ \markup \combine
\translate #'(-1.5 . 0)
\musicglyph "accidentals.natural"
\musicglyph "accidentals.flat"
#}))
fes! }
%%%%
Experiment with other translation values if you need different spacing.
For instance, -0.5 overlaps the right edge of the natural with the left
edge of the flat.
