Hi David,
Thanks for that quote; I don't currently have access to Read's manual.
Well, I still have my Beethoven sonatas out from my last posting on here,
and those tied accidentals after line breaks are a lot more common than
I thought. In the Schenker edition, they're inconsistent: sometimes an
accidental is parenthesized, sometimes its suppressed, but more often
than not they're there. In Henle they seem to always be printed (and
beautiful).
However, I've got a Peters edition score where they're always suppressed (it's
also a modern score, and I wonder if that's where the difference
stems from).
Here's an idea: how about just showing the behavior of
'hide-tied-accidental-after-break in NR 1.1.1, under the heading
"Accidentals", in the example that follows this sentence:
"Accidentals on tied notes are only printed at the beginning of a new system.
[add this] These accidentals may also be suppressed."
[see attached]
Currently, 'hide-tied-accidental-after-break is only listed in NR A.14. In
fact, I remember seeing it there when I was entering a score, and
spending 10 very confused minutes trying to figure out why the heck
\override Tie #'hide-tied-accidental-after-break = ##t wouldn't work!
(Yes, I know it's a property of Accidental now).
