Hi,
I am planning to make an edition of some pieces written for continuo and
two violins in "scordatura". For those who is unfamiliar with scordatura,
it is a technique where some or all of the strings on the violin is tuned
to some other tone than the original G-D-A-E. It is then notated in some
sort of transposed way, with different transpositions for every string
depending on how it is tuned.
This notation is much easier for a violinist to read, but it can lead to
quite interesting accidentals. So my question is: Is it possible (yes of
course everything is possible in MusiXTeX...) to have something like this
on the two violin staffs: (N=natural, #=sharp)
#
--#-----------
--------------
#
--------------
G----N---------
#

I know that Werner Icking has used scordatura in Suite V in Bach's cello
suites, but that particular mistuning didn't require any modifications
like this.
Since the basso is written in standard notation I would only like to
change the two violins. Any suggestions?
(For the curious this particular piece is tuned C-G-C-F.
Poor violin :-)
