I'm typesetting a book of Italian madrigals and have used the
accidental-style 'forget' for the project as it deals correctly with 99%
of my accidentals. The issue is when I have a chromatically inflected
note repeated. It quite naturally wants to reprint the accidental for
each note. For this case only, I want to be able to hide the accidental.
Ideally I would just attach a character to my note entry (like bes! and
bes?, only [perhaps] bes-). I don't know much Scheme, but I am willing to
learn. Can somebody point me to documentation on how to interface with
the Lilypond code, and perhaps what function(s) I should be looking at to
emulate behaviour like bes! and bes?. If there exists a quick and dirty
"hack" to suppress the accidental (the mailing list archives suggest there
is not), then I would like that too, so I can at least move forward with
this part of my project.
