Yes. I did this more or less intentionally. This is because I've seen
music that does use different accidentals in different octaves. It's
not all that unusual, for example in the classical music of India, to
have a note that is inflected differently in different octaves. For
example:
K:E=D_B^d
This would mean that D's are natural and d's are sharp throughout.
To those who say "Who needs this?" I'd just say "Well, if you don't
need it, don't use it." Some people do need it. If ABC can't handle
it, those people won't use ABC. My doctored abc2ps can handle it, so
ABC is now at least accessible to any interested musicians who play
music like this. If they have a C compiler and a PostScript printer.
(We can ignore the fact that I implemented this because it's actually
easier to program the general case than it is to prevent such things.
The code just blindly accepts whatever silly string of accidentals
you give it. But you should act as if I did it because I'm such a
brilliant programmer. Yeah, right; that's the ticket. ;-)
