Could this be a misunderstanding caused by different understandings of the meaning of the word accidental? Simon, by accidental, do you mean *any*change of pitch of a note, whether indicated by the key signature or not? If so, that may not be the way readers of this list normally understand

I don't understand why you start fiddling with the accidental engraver. If I were to reproduce the example you show, I would just type in the pitches (with alterations) and LilyPond will typeset it correctly. See Warning: key signatures and pitches in section 2.2.1 of the Learning Manual.

I'm guessing you're turning off accidental engraver at either staff or global level. I don't really understand why you're turning off accidental engraver at all, but you can probably achieve what you want by removing the stencil in the music. i.e., with \once \override
