Re: accidental style - cancel note within chord

[Neil Thornock]

While I'm at it, try the following:

{ #(set-accidental-style 'neo-modern) <ees e'> <ees e'> <ees e'> <ees
e'> <ees e'> }

Yuck!  I don't think this should ever be the result of any accidental
rule (e-flat only on the first bottom note, e-natural on every note
*except* the first note).
