Re: problem with the spacing of microtonal accidentals

Dear Keith, 
I don't understand everything You've been writing.
You must know that the code of the example mostly comes from copy and paste.
Can You tell me, which line of code I have to set to #'( )?
And could You be so kind giving me an example for combining accidentals in a string?
Thanks,
Stefan
The function that the Accidental's 'stencil points to by default does
the job of deciding whether to remove the accidental (if it is the second
note in a tie, and not at a line-break).  We (at least I) happen to be 
considering to change this, as issue 3749.

This unusual action for a 'stencil has caused all the layout code
to avoid using the 'stencil property, and to go directly to the code
that looks up the accidentals in 'glyph-name-alist.

Specifically, the function that 'horizontal-skylines points to by default
tries to use the glyph-name-alist, so you will need to replace that.
Maybe setting it to #'() will work.

Probably you intend to combine accidentals in a string.  If not for that,
you could write their letter names 'm' 'p' etc. in the glyph-name-alist.
