Re: [Issue?] hiding Accidental(s) on tied note(s) after a line break

Hi,

According to Gardner Read: "It is not necessary to repeat the accidental before a tied note . . . The one exception to this general rule occurs when the note or notes affected by the accidental and tied over the barline come at the end of a system or at the bottom of the page.  It is helpful to the performer if the accidental is repeated . . . " (Music Notation, p.131)

I know I have spent a lot of time adding these accidentals in Finale (and redoing them whenever the layout changed), and I very much appreciate that 2.12.2 takes care of them automatically!

I don't know; that was the previous default value, so I left it the
same. I don't mind particularly if someone wants to change it.

Again, I won't object if someone else wants to change it (as long as
there's a convert-ly rule).
