I have what I think is an odd problem with accidentals. The piece I am working on is a Viola etude in E minor.In the original score the composer needs an E natural and this is achievedby a concatenated combination of a natural sign and a flat sign.The note in question is an F, which is sharp in the key signature, so thenatural symbol presumably cancels the F# to F and the flat symbol (alongside the natural symbol) then indicates F flat or E natural. Is there please a way to typeset this in Lilypond ?This is the only time I've seen such notation, so Im guessing its rare ?
Usually, the presence of the flat would automatically cancel out any potential sharp, so the inclusion of a preceding natural is overly cautious.
You can of course customize the stencil of a note's accidental to have it render as a "natural flat" as such:
%%%% \version "2.19.82" { \clef bass \key e \minor \tweak Accidental.stencil #(lambda (grob)(grob-interpret-markup grob #{ \markup \combine \translate #'(-1.5 . 0) \musicglyph "accidentals.natural" \musicglyph "accidentals.flat" #})) fes! } %%%%Experiment with other translation values if you need different spacing. For instance, -0.5 overlaps the right edge of the natural with the left edge of the flat.
