Changing the order of accidental printing

Hi, I have a particular two-voice passage where both voices play the same notes, and both would have an accidental, but they are merged into one. However, the order in which the accidentals are printed is not really ideal. I've come up with two workarounds, but neither seem really optimal. Is

Re: 2nd Verse lyrics drop below all staves, alignBelowContext not working

[With apologies for repeatedly mailing the list...] Perhaps a better way, if you want to use alignBelowContext instead, is to assign a name to the Lyrics context itself, like: \version "2.18.2" \score { << \new Staff << \new Voice = "soprano" \relative c' { e4 d c d e e e r

Re: 2nd Verse lyrics drop below all staves, alignBelowContext not working

Another thing came to mind: I usually do multiple verses like this a bit differently, using \skip in the lyrics. The equivalent of my previous example using that method would be: \version "2.18.2" \score { << \new Staff << \new Voice = "soprano" \relative c' { e4 d c d e e e

I am attempting to put a prall within the staff, in spaces only, similar to how a tenuto works. Given the following bit of code: \version "2.18.2" \layout { \context { \Staff \remove Time_signature_engraver } } \relative c' { \override Stem.length = #0 f^\tenuto g^\tenuto f-\prall g-\prall |

Re: Parenthesized second key signature

By the way, I don't know what this is called, properly -- I've been using words like 'parenthesized' or 'parenthetical' or 'second' or 'secondary' key signature, but if there is a proper name for it (and while I'm wishing, the rules for when to print it or not), I'd like to know, too. Tyler
