I never make mistakes playing until someone throws in a cautionary accidental. Somehow they often become something other than the note it already is on account of that extra visual distraction. There is for me a need to change the note even though it would have been correct without such additional cautions. Unless the passage is extremely ambiguous i strongly prefer to have them left out. i.e. use such practices as are from the classical era. In a tied situation as that it is a sin. One should never read backwards your mind and fingers have already passed through that and must know where they are destined to go next. If you cannot remember what a chord is from one staff to the next you are simply not concentrating.
