Hello everyone,

Here's a little example of the situation I'm talking about:

\score {
\new Staff = "Discantus"
\new Voice = "Discantus" \relative c'' {
\set suggestAccidentals = ##t
\override AccidentalSuggestion #'Y-offset = 1
g1 g g g g g g g \break
g g g g gis \fermata

}
}

Here, with a Y-offset value of 1, the accidental is in the same place as it
would be if the \override command weren't there. Only when the number is
above 5 does the accidental start to move upwards.

Brent.
