Correct. *ALL* pitches in the input *must* be explicitly given. The key signature assignment tells LilyPond how to display the pitches. For exmaple; 'e' *always* means e-natural no matter what the key signature is.
Hi guys correct me if I am wrong.
The g minor chord has two flats Eb & Bb which need to be marked as es and bes in Lilypond other wise the Accidental_engraver sees them as naturals in the g minor chord, hence the natural symbol for any unmarked E or B note in your music.
Just trying to see if I understand this all correctly?
How did I do?

I'm new to Lilypond and the list. So far the code is pretty intuitive, but I am stumped by the way accidentals work. Several posts deal with this subject, but probably are beyond a novice's ability to undertand.
I'm transcribing a modern piece with 2 flats in the key signature (I've set \key g \minor). It's rather atonal, though, so it seems Lilypond tries to correct pitch by turning every e-flat and b-flat into a natural.
What code do I use to override this? The printed result should have only 4 accidentals. Right now there are 37, and of course the pitches are all off.
What do I put where in what part of the code? I can send my page code, if it would be helpful.
Thanks in advance!
