I have encountered some disagreement on the scope of accidentals. This is how I have it:
An accidental applies only to the line or interstice on which it appears, and is implied for following notes in the same measure, or for the first note of the next measure if tied, unless cancelled. I have heard arguments for two deviations: 1. The accidental also applies to notes on the same stave that are an octave away. 2. The accidental must always be explicitly cancelled if the next note of the following bar is at the same height, even if not tied. ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
