I do not know.  I am not an expert on the different accidental rules, nor on
the standard engraving practices for accidentals in alternatives.   But I
would expect that the last measure of the repeat should serve as the
previous measure for each of the alternatives.

I've passed this message along to -user to get thoughts from those who are
much more knowledgeable than I.
