OK, updated. I didn't add "single", because the word is already
repeted twice in the next sentence.

Oh yes. I also got rid of the "see below", that is not very elegant.

I believe it is. I don't know if there is a way to cautionarize these
accidentals, but since Rune has been working a lot on that, you should
ask him.

Of course, we ALL love Trevor's examples. He shouldn't have to be
fishing for compliments :)
