Do you mean the accidentals on frist quarter notes in each measure, i.e. the second accidental here \version "2.16.2" { ees'4 ees'8 ees'4 ees' ees'8 ~ ees' ees'4 ees' ees' ees'8 ~ } ? If so, it's printed because music notation rules say so. Notation rules say that if an altered note is tied across barline, the tied part after barline "inherits" accidental, but the following notes don't (as the accidental was in the previous measure), so new accidental is needed. Or do you refer to the accidental after the line break? hth, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
