Werner has drawn my attention to an inaccuracy in my above quoted reply.
I didn't consider that Peter Chubb was talking about relative pitches,
i.e. pitches with no respect to their octaves. Hence I want to clarify
my statement:
In current standard music notation an accidental applies to all
subsequent notes of a measure with equal pitch. The first occurrance of
a note within the same measure having an equal relative pitch but a
different octave must be prefixed with its own accidental.
