Re: Repeated accidental after tie across line break

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi,

> I don't see the ambiguity.

So, upon seeing the screenshot I sent, you immediately knew that it was a 
C-natural, even though there's a C-sharp in the key signature and no other 
[contradicting] accidental?
You should be the star of a clairvoyance show in Vegas!  ;)

Yes, but if there's no line break, you only have to look back a few cm — If 
there's a line break, you have to look to the right a much longer distance, 
then move up a system, register the correct accidental, then do the long return 
trip to the original note. The "repeated" accidental saves this long processing 
time.

Agreed.

Best regards,
Kieren.
