reducing your code to one polyphonic staff and omitting the tie shows what happens: \include "english.ly" \new Staff << \new Voice \relative { \key ef \major \voiceOne df''1 %~ df } \new Voice \relative c'' { \voiceTwo r1 b_"b's natural sign is too far left" } >> the accidental is repeated because we are in a new measure and the natural sign avoids the accidental of the top voice. when the notes are tied the accidental is not repeated but it seems like LilyPond still reserves some space for it. I tried to set the Accidental stencil to false but this had no effect. anybody else? is this related to issue 3106 <https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3106&can=1&q=accidental&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Stars%20Owner%20Patch%20Needs%20Summary> Eluze -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Accidental-placement-in-voiceTwo-vs-another-staff-tp147446p147447.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
