Well, I'm not entirely sure being on system break or not affects this
question. If an accidental is tied across a barline it seems to me
it raises the question of subsequent identical pitches in the
following bar in either case, so that adding an accidental - probably
NOT courtesy but normal - should be the norm, as others are saying.
I also think this is influenced by the presence or lack of key
signature. My own work is almost entirely without key signature, and
I think that adds another level of necessity for clarity. When sight
reading music "with" a key signature I think my tendency would be to
revert to the non-accidental note in the situation we're discussing.

I agree, it's never been an issue for me either - more problematic
is a reiteration of the same note later in the 2nd measure, and

courtesy accidental is always the safe road.
Do you mean you put them in even in a middle of a system? That would
really confuse me when sightreading.
And yes, that specific question is interesting. I would not add
another courtesy acci, if the first note in the measure had one, but
to be honest I haven't checked this out. Anyone know?
