Not so -- at least, not in Western orchestral music. I've never seen a key signature with more than 7 sharps or flats (other than possibly once or twice in 20th century music theory classes), but I've often seen notes with double flats or double sharps. Wagner uses a lot of them. It's not uncommon at all in late Romantic music. ... of course, now somebody is bound to point out an instance of this occuring in Mozart or Handel or some other non-Romantic composer. :) Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
