New issue 2178 by address@hidden: NR: clarify the subsection "Automatic  
accidentals" of section 1.1.3
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2178

In order further to clarify the subsection "Automatic accidentals" of  
section 1.1.3 Displaying pitches of NR: Please extend the initial  
description of scope; after the input \accidentalStyle #'StaffGroup "voice"  
(all references are to the v2.15 docs), please insert:

Before setting accidental style in more than one scope (for example by  
using \accidentalStyle "piano" and \accidentalStyle "default" in the same  
piano staff), be aware that the function sets a property in the relevant  
scope and that the interplay between properties in different scopes follows  
the rules in section 3.3.4 Modifying context properties of the LM and in  
section 5.3 Modifying properties of NR.

I trust you to insert the relevant links to the other documentation  
mentioned.

My suggestion follows the discussion in the thread "Switcing accidental  
style doesn't always work" on gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.bugs between July 4  
and 8 2011 (in which I don’t blame the bug squad for not immediately seeing  
through the matter; instead I advocate clarifying the docs as propsed, in  
the interest of all). Since I am not subscribed to bug-lilypond, please  
consider cc'ing me on any follow-up. Thanks.

Your sincere and helpful user,
Ole Villumsen
