\tweak Accidental.stencil ##f

    may be written a bit more high-level as

\single \omit Accidental

Yes, but I think we have an issue number for it already.  It's an effect
of ties-over-linebreaks (and their effect on accidentals) being known at
a point of time where the spacing is already rather fixed.

Another effect of the accidental being removed rather late in the game
is that _if_ there is a line break (and the accidental is consequently
left printed), another accidental _following_ right behind is left in
place when it should be elided.  Better than removing it when it would
be necessary, but still a nuisance.
