Re: Cautionary accidentals in Ambitus

[Erlend Aasland]

Hi,

When I write timpani parts I specify the tuning this way:
tuning = \markup {
    \score {
        \new Staff \with { \remove Time_signature_engraver } {
            \set Staff.instrument = "Tuning: "
            \clef bass { b,4 d e a }
        } \layout { ragged-right = ##t }
    }
}

\header {
    poet = \markup { \tuning }
}

I know it doesn't answer your question, but I thought you might find it interesting anyway.

Hi folks,

I've recently written a timpani part for a score I'm writing, and I thought I'd add an ambitus to the beginning of the part to show the necessary tuning (I know, it's not standard!)

The two notes I want the timps tuned to are aes and des, and the key is des major. However, because the key signature (which comes _after_ the ambitus) includes aes and des there are no flats on the ambitus. How do I add cautionary accidentals?

I notice in the programme reference that Ambitus_engraver has a setting for cautionary accidentals, but it doesn't tell me how to turn them on or off.

Here's a simple version of my code:

\version " 2.9.4"

\score{

  \relative c {
    \clef bass
    \key des \major
    des aes des aes |
  }

  \layout{
    \context {
      \Voice
      \consists Ambitus_engraver
    }
  }
}
