Re: Simultaneous notes with and without accidental, also with dots

[Paul Hodges]

I sidestepped this problem (and simplified my code!) by removing all the 
shifts and the troublesome a natural altogether.  I then added a new 
voice in which I wrote {s16 a!4..*6/7^-^\f} - this placed the new note 
close to the right of the chord, which also had its dots as it should.
Is it a cheat? Or just a pragmatic and effective answer?  I know how I 
view it for now!
