What about when extra staff notation is needed?
For example if you needed slurs or ties?
Wouldn't A be preferable here? That is having an accidental either side of each
note is far more clumsy than two accidentals to the left of the note then the
slur doesn't interfere.
Also what is the purpose in the case of A B or C of the second natural? Isn't
that implied by standard notation where the note retains the 'sharp/flat' for
the duration of the measure unless explicitly changed?
Here is a simplified example of what Keith did above to illustrate the point.
\relative c' {
<< s1*0
#(set-accidental-style 'voice)
{ fis8[ g] } \\ { s64 f!8*7/8[ f] }
>>
<< s1*0
#(set-accidental-style 'voice)
{ fis!8([ g] } \\ { s64 f!8*7/8~[ f] }
>><< s1*0
#(set-accidental-style 'voice)
{ fis!8[ g]) } \\ { s64 f!8*7/8[ f] }
>><< s1*0
#(set-accidental-style 'voice)
{ fis!8[ g] } \\ { s64 f!8*7/8)[ f] }
>>
}
I am not a vocal specialist but just using this one simplistic example of C
seems erroneous. Isn't the idea of the notes printed at the same moment to show
that they need to be sung at the same moment if you see what I mean? Yes I am
sure that a vocalist can make their own mind up, but if that is the reasoning
then it doesn't matter what we use then does it and you can provide instruction
accordingly.
I don't think that the beaming clarifies anything at all personally.
Just my tuppence worth.
