Re: Accidentals

[Graham Percival]

Am I sure it's good practice?  No.  I know I've seen it before -- a 
quick
glance at some of the music in my room confirms it -- but most of my
music is computer-engraved.  At least, I'm not prepared to vouch
for the quality of their typesetting.  :)

However, I'm pretty certain that I haven't seen 7 accidentals printed
when the music changes from E major to A major.

Cheers,
- Graham
