Hello,
Currently, if a note with an accidental is tied over a line break, the
accidental is repeated on the new line. Is there any way to turn off this
behavior?
I looked in the manual; "9.1.1 Automatic accidentals" would seem to be the relevant
section, but it doesn't say anything about tied accidentals. There's a regression test called
accidental-tie.ly, but it merely explains that "an accidental is present if the line is broken
at the tie, which happens for the G sharp", without mentioning any way of turning off this
behavior.
It took me a while to find an instance of a note with accidental tied over a
line break in the Henle edition of the Bach Well-Tempered Clavier, but when I
eventually found one, the accidental was not repeated after the line break.
(Book I, Fugue in B minor, measures 56-57. It happens to be a G-sharp.) So if
my own desire to not repeat the accidental isn't enough, there's an example
from G. Henle Verlag.*
Thanks,
Marcus
(In fairness, the second instance I found did repeat the accidental: Book I,
Fugue in C-sharp minor, measures 40-41, an A-sharp. Anyway, I think the user
should be able to choose whether or not accidentals are displayed in these
situations. And if they are repeated, the ties should not collide, as the
currently do. The aforementioned A-sharp provides a good example of how a tie
can avoid an accidental in such a case.)
