I see, and totally agree. It's not easy to manage many emails with real-bugs 
reports or false-bugs. But an answer like "read the manual" is neither a 
friendly answer nor an answer at all. 
I prepared a score with lilypond and the celloist missed one note because of 
this problem, so I thought it could be a good idea to discuss this behaviour 
on the list. This is the reason my i went into a grumpy mood when you 
answered "try to live with it", because it would end the discussion with no 
solution, or no real conclusion.

I don't understand what you mean, you say accidental rules seem weird in some 
places, but should remain as they are. Why?

-The only rule to be adjusted is "don't let the over-the-bar rule turn off the 
implicit "!" obtained by alternations in the same bar"

-And to make it still better: "forget the alteration after n bars"
