cautionary, enclosed in some form of brackets. Putting them above the notes is something you do when you are *changing* the notated note, such as a notated B natural with an editorial flat above it, telling the reader that there's indication of it in the source, but the best reading is likely one that is *different* from what the source says literally.
I've seen lots of editions of early music (mostly recorder music but something in my memory is suggesting I've seen them in H.A.M. also) where the editorial accidentals above the notes did NOT change the unambiguous (to those who already knew the style) musical line which the composer obviously intended. The very situation which Dennis asked about is one where I have seen lots of editorial (above the notes) accidentals which merely confirmed what I already knew.
