Thanks! I have added this to the bug database as accidentals-below-notes.ly.
Do you have a scan of a traditionally engraved score which does this?
(preferably, but not necessarily, from an out-of-copyright score). It would
be useful.
Also, if we want to list you in the THANKS file (as is standard for ppl
finding bugs/suggestions), do you want Wiz Aus to be displayed, or do you
prefer another name?
