Hi
First, thank you for your answers!

Oh - I have been playing an instrument on hobbyist level since childhood
but
haven't done other things than "just" reading and interpreting sheet
music. ;-)

My first productive Lilypond usage was to extract a single voice from a
complete score
where I realized this by accident. - Normally I'd certainly have just
played this octaved
c and "forgotten" about the cis before - thus played it correctly.

confused when
you have to do things explicitely)

Exactly that seems to apply to the complete score I extracted from ...

Thank you for the hints, that will help.
Semi-OT: In general the documentation was very helpful!
At the very beginning LilyPond was quite hard but now I'm very positive
about the
quality of the output - and the speed increasement in writing in a very
short time!
Thank you for your work on LilyPond!
Best regards
