No. The ambitus should definitely orient itself with its key signature: it makes no sense using accidentals when a natural pitch is there. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

In message <863aeipe74@lola.quinscape.zz>, David Kastrup writes Hi, the ambitus engraver seemingly picks the first maximum/minimum in the note sequence and stays with it even when the same absolute pitch comes up later with a better match to the ambitus engraver's key signature. Here is a real world example where the ambitus engraver (which is working in C major) picks c flat rather than b as its lowest span. Ugly. Not that I use ambituses, but surely, where there multiple notes of the same pitch (I hate to say "absolute pitch", because to take the above example c-flat and b-natural are NOT the same pitch except on the piano), it makes sense to take the lowest (or highest, as appropriate) note - b over c.
