It's more like "you have to decide". I would recommend against overinterpreting the words of engraving authorities on that: what they try to get perfect is how things are supposed to be typeset, not what they are supposed to be called. So it comes down to making and explicitly _documenting_ an editorial decision. I would call that accidental "mandatory", and yes, that means that its state depends on whether there is a linebreak or not. But that's _my_ opinion and my gut feeling. I don't think that LilyPond can make this distinction, so LilyPond likely considers it cautionary. > The original edition I'm copying omits the reminder flat after the > line break and the sharp at the gis, > and I've to know how to deal with the situation. In that case, a sharp would be cautionary. Leaving it off, however, is not particularly friendly to musicians. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
