Subject: Re: no natural sign when clef changes

The terminal f if natural requires a natural sign regardless of that
clef change. Other wise, and being the same pitch as the previous
instance it will perforce have the weight of a sharped note. Probably
not the most common thing to see, but there you are. Remember it is
always better to over inform than confuse, but here it is just a
normal cancellation.

Dear all,

IMHO there should be a natural sign showing the f' after the clef-change: am I 
wrong?

music = \relative c' {
   c8 d e fis
   c d e f
   c8 d e fis
   \clef "alto" c d e f
}
\score {
<<
       { \new Staff #(set-accidental-style 'modern-cautionary 'Staff)
       \music
   }
   { \new Staff #(set-accidental-style 'default 'Staff)
       \music
   }

}


hmmm...my Read says nothing but Stone says

"If a clef changes within a measure and the same note occurs before and after 
the clef change, the accidental must be repeated."

However were this f an octave higher I'd say no natural (cancellation) is 
needed. So is this pitch being judged as higher just because it is 'higher' in 
the staff or is it really an octave higher? Otherwise it ought to have a 
natural by default.

That's my rather on the fence take :)
