Ah, good point. I didn't actually think about the ? vs. ! difference;
probably it's just a matter of personal taste of the engraver. In this
situation, I guess both can be reasoned: the cautionary since the key
signature says it should be c by default anyway, and the mandatory
accidental (without parentheses) because tie and slur could not be
distinguished otherwise, so it's indeed at least semi-mandatory.
But IMHO the important point here is the fact that the notation can be
ambigous without the accidental, and is definitely clear with it. No
matter if ? or !.
Cheers,
Alexander
