Re: How to change spacing between accidentals?

[Mats Bengtsson]

As far as I can understand, you are talking about the placement of the
accidentals within the key signatures, right. In that case, I don't 
understand
why Han-Wen referred you to the mailing list, since that spacing is hard
coded in the implementation, which even contains some special handling
of natural signs to avoid similar problems in conventional key signatures.
To me it seems that the only solution is to do some more hacking in the
C++ code.

The AccidentalPlacement object deals only with temporary accidentals
on notes, which is something completely different.
