Hello, Speaking of users (or beginners) I don't think many of them enter the accidentals (in text) using their unicode values. Sure, it could happen, when using copy&paste, but I think most users do not write any unicode characters that are not accessible directly when entering text with their keyboard. Thus they would most probably use the lilypond commands \flat, \sharp to enter accidentals in texts (maybe \text-flat now but I doubt it). And for those advanced users educated in typography they probably use text fonts that provide these glyphs and might want to use them anyway and not to get them replaced by the lilypond ones... Kind regards, Xavier
