isn't that what piano-cautionary asks for? from NR Chapter 1: Musical notation: piano-cautionary This is the same as piano but with the extra accidentals typeset as cautionaries. piano This rule reflects twentieth-century practice for piano notation. Its behavior is very similar to modern style, but here accidentals also get canceled across the staves in the same GrandStaff or PianoStaff, hence all the cancellations of the final notes. This accidental style applies to the current GrandStaff or PianoStaff by default. modern This rule corresponds to the common practice in the twentieth century. It omits some extra natural signs, which were traditionally prefixed to a sharp following a double sharp, or a flat following a double flat. The modern rule prints the same accidentals as default, with two additions that serve to avoid ambiguity: after temporary accidentals, cancellation marks are printed also in the following measure (for notes in the same octave) and, in the same measure, for notes in other octaves. Hence the naturals before the b and the c in the second measure of the upper staff after reading all this I feel the current behavior is correct Eluze -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Strange-cautionary-tp148054p148058.html Sent from the Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
