Hi David,

At some point of time, one just has to accept that q is a shorthand.
Once it becomes hard figuring out the proper semantics, we are leaving
the shorthand realm.

Point taken...

But to imply that coming up with a logically consistent interpretation of each possibility is disingenuous. Here's one obvious option:

q repeats the previous chord, with cautionary or forced accidentals not reindicated
    q!   repeats the previous chord, reindicating any forced accidentals
q? repeats the previous chord, reindicating any cautionary accidentals q!? repeats the previous chord, reindicating any forced accidentals or cautionary accidentals.

So, in your specific examples:

    <a! cis d?> q!
is going to be what?

The same output as

     <a! cis d?> <a! cis d>

    <a cis d> q?
is going to be what?

The same output as

     <a cis d> <a cis d>

Cheers,
Kieren.
