I find the 2nd interpretation untenable given her words. F𝄪 follows B♯ in the circle of fifths. The only possible interpretation is that F♯ is also present, but I think she would have mentioned an overriden accidental. It's similar to changing from F♮ to F𝄪 in a score: you don't indicate an intermediate step. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
