Yes: this is impossible to do right with the current lily: we don't
know where the line breaks are when we generate the score, so we can't
automatically put in or switch off those accidentals, not without
mangling up the spacing. I suggest we junk this entire "accidental on
broken tie" feature -- and let the user do it by hand.
