I agree on that and on the comments to your examples
• Hauke A (current default is buggy)
• Knut C (why Malte B is no solution)
• Malte C (don’t add staves automagically)

Some comments of mine to the other examples:
• Knut A: I agree it looks a little bit ambiguous but in chords (not in 
polyphony though) it’s the best solution for a *default* behaviour. (btw 
it has to be sharp-natural like here, not natural-sharp)
• Knut B: This works only unambiguously with much more horizontal space. 
So IMO not a good solution for default behaviour.
• Malte A: Same problem as Knut B but Knut B is better (look at the 
g-sharp/a-sharp on beat 4)
• Malte B: Not a thing for default because of cases like Knut C and the 
accidentals are too small to read.

So IMO the default should be changed from Hauke A to Knut A. This works 
only for chords but polyphony should use seperate staves here anyway.
