Re: Regarding the Musica ficta accidentals

[Mats Bengtsson]

OK! However, wouldn't it still make sense to only typeset the
suggested accidentals for accidentals marked as cautionary in
the input? At least in music from early 17th century, it was
indeed common to print some but not all accidentals explicitly.
With the current implementation, you would have to repeatedly
switch suggestAccidentals between true and false. It would be
easier to just mark the ones added by the editor with a "?" in
the input. (Hmm, how to distinguish these from automatically
generated cautionaries)?

One alternative to my proposal below might be to set the
cautionary style using a context property.
