Re: Natural signs in accidentals

[Mats Bengtsson]

It is actually in the documentation. At the bottom of the section on
Accidentals, you can find links to the Program reference of the
Accidental_engraver. In the list of properties, you can find a
property called extraNatural that handles exactly this issue.
So, just add

  \set Staff.extraNatural = ##f ges1
