RE: Free-time music with correct accidentals

[Richard Sabey]

Thank you, Neil. Combining our ideas, I tried

x = { \cadenzaOff \set Staff.localKeySignature = #'() \bar "|" \cadenzaOn }

which had the effect I wanted.

Luckily the piece I was working on had a key signature of nothing. However, on trying with a non-null key signature, I find that it makes Lilypond engrave accidentals as if the key signature had changed to nothing. I didn't fancy having to set a key signature using a LISP construct, but fortunately a construct like this has my desired effect:

x = { \cadenzaOff
    \key a \major
    \override Staff.KeySignature #'stencil = ##f
    \bar "|"
    \cadenzaOn
}
