Re: Accidentals tied over a line break

[Mats Bengtsson]

In the source code, I found a comment saying:
TODO: insert support for smaller cautionaries, tie-break-reminders.
 ...
which indicates that this is a feature that is not yet
implemented. I made some quick attempts to solve the problem
by redefining Accidental #'after-line-breaking but didn't manage.
