Point taken… But to imply that coming up with a logically consistent interpretation of each possibility is disingenuous. Here’s one obvious option: q repeats the previous chord, with cautionary or forced accidentals not reindicated q! repeats the previous chord, reindicating any forced accidentals q? repeats the previous chord, reindicating any cautionary accidentals q!? repeats the previous chord, reindicating any forced accidentals or cautionary accidentals. So, in your specific examples: > <a! cis d?> q! > is going to be what? The same output as <a! cis d?> <a! cis d> > <a cis d> q? > is going to be what? The same output as <a cis d> <a cis d> Cheers, Kieren. _______________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer www: <http://www.kierenmacmillan.info> email: i...@kierenmacmillan.info _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
