Re: accidentals in augmented unisons

[Trevor Daniels]

Hi Luis

The value given to 'right-padding controls the
distance between the pair of accidentals and the
following note.  To adjust the placement of the
individual accidentals you can use various alignment
markup commands (see Appendix B6.2 in the 2.11
Notation Reference).  Here I've used \halign as an
illustration.  The values are far too extreme for
real use, but they show what can be done.  Fractional
values are permitted to give you fine control - these
will need to be set by experiment.  This is rather
messy as the values interact and the units of \halign
are based on the length of the following string.
There may be a better way.  For example, \hspace can
be used to increase the separation of the accidentals.

naturalplusflat = \markup { \halign #-10 { \natural } \halign #-5 { 
\flat } }
    \relative c'' {
      \once \override Accidental
        #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
      \once \override Accidental #'text = #naturalplusflat
      \once \override Score.AccidentalPlacement #'right-padding = #10
      <b bes>
    }
