| Because spelling counts! D# and E♭may sound the same (on a tempered instrument) but they are two very different notes. And an performer playing an instrument that can distinguish between the two, should.

Please reply to the user group as well.
As is often pointed out, it's free software and the fixes depend on who is working for nothing on the code.
I wouldn't think it would crop up frequently.
I made a workaround with a combination of forcing the accidentals to be displayed, and then using force-hshift and extra-offset and a few other tweaks to make it work.
My example is pretty complicated, because I also autogenerate the code, but you're welcome to a copy if you want.

Thanks!
I can't believe that this is seen as a low priority enhancement...! This
completely renders lilypond unusable for the task I need it, which is to serve
as a printer for computer generated music. The output is not ugly - it is
plain wrong!
Why doesn't the accidental_engraver looks into other voices as well?
Maybe I can workaround it by doing an extra pass before writing the lilypond
code to check if this kind of problem may occur... But now I wonder what other
kind of potential problems may occur with this accidental_engraver
algorithm...
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I think this problem deserves more
consideration.
Thank you!
