Re: Cautionary accidentals in Ambitus

[Mats Bengtsson]

Here's an ugly workaround:

\score{

 \relative c {
   \clef bass
   \once \override Staff.Clef #'stencil = ##f
   \once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
   \partial 4
   s4
   \bar ""
   \set Staff.forceClef = ##t
   \once \override Staff.Clef #'full-size-change = ##t
   \time 4/4
   \clef bass
   \key des \major
   des aes des aes |
 }

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