RE: accidentals in cadenzas

[Paul Harouff]

It happens for all bar lines in a cadenza. I write a lot of chant music and
this behavior is very annoying, especially in the tenor line. Using
#(set-accidental-style 'forget) works for me.  I guess it's better to mark
all of the accidentals than none of them.

\new Staff = men <<
                \clef bass
                \key g \major
                \new Voice = "Tenor" {\voiceOne \cadenzaOn \override Stem
#'length = #5  
                        #(set-accidental-style 'forget)
                        a4 b4 c'4 c'4 c'4 b4 c'4 d'4 c'4 b2 \bar "|" s4
                        b4 c'4 d'4 d'\breve d'4 e'4( f'4 e'4 d'4) c'2 \bar
"|" s4
                        a4 b4 c'4 c'4 b4 c'4 d'4( c'4) b2 \bar "|" s4
                        b4 c'4 d'4 d'\breve d'4 e'4( f'4 e'4 d'4) c'2 \bar
"|" s4
                        e'4 e'4 e'4 e'4 d'2 c'4 b4 c'1 b1 \bar "|."
                        }
                \new Voice = "Bass" {\voiceTwo \cadenzaOn \override Stem
#'length = #5
                        d4 d4 d4 d4 d4 g4 g4 g4 g4 g2 \bar "|" s4
                        g4 g4 g4 g\breve g4 c4( b,4 c4 g4) a2 \bar "|" s4
                        d4 d4 d4 d4 g4 g4 g2 g2 \bar "|" s4
                        g4 g4 g4 g\breve g4 c4( b,4 c4 g4) a2 \bar "|" s4
                        c4 c4 c4 c4 g2 fis4 g4 c2( d2) <g g,>1 \bar "|."
                        }
                >>

One thing I haven't experimented with yet is breaking the cadenza at every
bar line. Maybe doing a \cadenzaOff before, and \cadenzaOn after, each bar
line might fix the accidentals, spacing around the bar lines, and matching
the bar line counts with the lyrics. Unfortunately, I'm a bit lazy. I prefer
solutions that require less typing, not more typing.

Subject: accidentals in cadenzas

I'm writing a cadenza, and it seems that < \bar "" > does not have  
the effect of accidentals being reset as if there was a real bar  
line. For instance

d16 [e fis g a b cis d e f e d]
\bar ""
e,16 [fis gis a b cis d e f g f e]

In the second phrase, only a sharp will be printed for the gis, not  
for the fis.

Is there any way to get the effect that at the invislble bar line all  
previous accidentals are forgotten/reset?

Victor.
