Sorry but as a first time user to lilypond and music in general this
section in the tutorial was about as clear as mud to me.
Not wanting to offend anyone just stating how I felt the fist time I
read this section in the learning tutorial.
As I said previously when I have time I'll have a shot at articulating
this more fully to aid my learning further and help others who have
been tripped up Accidental(ly).

As a follow-up, have the people with "unwanted accidentals" seen this:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Accidentals-and-key-signatures#Key-signatures
...and is it not clear? The last example on that page shouldn't be
any less clear than the example I gave.

Correct. *ALL* pitches in the input *must* be explicitly given.
The key signature assignment tells LilyPond how to display the
pitches. For exmaple; 'e' *always* means e-natural no matter what
the key signature is.

Hi guys correct me if I am wrong.
The g minor chord has two flats Eb & Bb which need to be marked as
es and bes in Lilypond other wise the Accidental_engraver sees
them as naturals in the g minor chord, hence the natural symbol
for any unmarked E or B note in your music.
Just trying to see if I understand this all correctly?
How did I do?

I'm new to Lilypond and the list. So far the code is pretty
intuitive, but I am stumped by the way accidentals work. Several
posts deal with this subject, but probably are beyond a novice's
ability to undertand.
I'm transcribing a modern piece with 2 flats in the key signature
(I've set \key g \minor). It's rather atonal, though, so it seems
Lilypond tries to correct pitch by turning every e-flat and b-
flat into a natural.
What code do I use to override this? The printed result should
have only 4 accidentals. Right now there are 37, and of course
the pitches are all off.
What do I put where in what part of the code? I can send my page
code, if it would be helpful.
Thanks in advance!
