Re: Skipping reminder accidentals in q

Point taken…

But to imply that coming up with a logically consistent interpretation of each 
possibility is disingenuous. Here’s one obvious option:

   q    repeats the previous chord, with cautionary or forced accidentals not 
reindicated
   q!   repeats the previous chord, reindicating any forced accidentals
   q?   repeats the previous chord, reindicating any cautionary accidentals
   q!?   repeats the previous chord, reindicating any forced accidentals or 
cautionary accidentals.

So, in your specific examples:

>    <a! cis d?> q!
> is going to be what?

The same output as

    <a! cis d?> <a! cis d>

>    <a cis d> q?
> is going to be what?

The same output as

    <a cis d> <a cis d>

Cheers,
Kieren.
