Hello everybody, a few months ago, I started this thread to ask how to define an accidental-style I really needed --and still need.
Rune had kindly answered me, but I guess he hadn't got the time to figure out how to do it; this is why I ask again today, in case someone couls help me. Moreover, this is really a popular way to print accidentals in contemporary music, and I would reaaly like to see LilyPond handle it. Let me sum up this behavior:
--the first accidental in a bar is printed (like in 'default style) --if a note with an accidental is immediately repeated in the same bar (same pitch, same octave), the accidental is not printed (like in 'default style) --if the same note occurs later in the bar, the accidental is printed again (like in 'forget style) --if the same note gets natural, even at a different octave, a natural sign is printed (like in 'modern style) --sometimes, cautionnary naturals signs can even be printed in the immediately following bar, without parentheses or whatever (which can be obtained in Lily by setting the "laziness" property) --just in case the musician would forget there isn't any accidental anymore...
As Rune pointed out, the only tricky part here is to distinguish if a note is immediately repeated, or reappears after a few other notes. I hope someone will be able to find a way...
