I see, and totally agree. It's not easy to manage many emails with real-bugs 
reports or false-bugs. But an answer like read the manual is neither a 
friendly answer nor an answer at all. 
I prepared a score with lilypond and the celloist missed one note because of 
this problem, so I thought it could be a good idea to discuss this behaviour 
on the list. This is the reason my i went into a grumpy mood when you 
answered try to live with it, because it would end the discussion with no 
solution, or no real conclusion.


I think your example on how weird accidental rules seem in
 some places is very good. Accidentals may seem odd even if it is the
 correct way these accidentals are placed.

I do not think that the developers should change
 the accidental-rules.

I don't understand what you mean, you say accidental rules seem weird in some 
places, but should remain as they are. Why?

-The only rule to be adjusted is don't let the over-the-bar rule turn off the 
implicit ! obtained by alternations in the same bar

-And to make it still better: forget the alteration after n bars

Of course you didn't get the point and don't want to. I only said I think the 
program may lead to unwanted results.
I'm not annoyed by Lilypond, i'm only annoyed by answers like read the 
manual or don't use lilypond when I warily report a bug. Bug reporting is 
a way to contribute to the project, too.

I am sorry if I did not get the point. What I try to tell you is that
working with list mail may be time consuming for developers and
sentences like Anyway the problem is still more annoying, may better
be stated as:

   Anyway it looks inappropriate to me that [...]

 I already red it, and I think this behaviour is not correct. When playing you 
 feel stronger the sharp in the same measure than the unsharp of the previous 
 one. The previous one unsharp should not override the diesis in the same

 Anyway the problem is still more annoying, this happens also if the first 
 note 
 is measures far away... 

Don't be annoyed, you can get your money back if you want;-)

Music-notation is annoying anyway you look at it and demands a great
effort on the behalf of the writer (even with pen and paper, which I
used for 20 years or more.)

Well, try to live with it, use ! or something like that to explicit
specify accidentals. Good luck and happy writing,
