If I had to typeset this the result would be:
#g2 #g2 ~ | g2 #g4 g4 |
But this is a special example, because there are no other notes
between the many gis. Consider a lot of 1/16th "gis a b gis ..."
where succeeding gis are tied. This would be typeset:
#g a b g~g a b g~g a b #g~ | g a b #g~g a b g~g a b #g~ | g ...
^ ^
| + required because up to now
| there is no g-sharp in this
| bar.
+ must be here because of the tie into
the next bar. Without the tie the next
g would get the sharp. Because of the
tie this has to be moved in front of
the tie.
An example can be found in Bach's Ouvertüre No. 3 (Suite Nr. 3)
first movement, violin I, bar 59-60
e16 d c d e d c b a8 f+ b- #d ~ | d f a- #d~d f b- d | ...
^^^ ^^^
Some editors repeat the moved accidental as cautionary accidental
if there is a line-break. I don't like that behaviour, because
e.g. in the above example which is in D-major the signature
#f #c is immediately followed by (#d), which is hard to read.
