RE: how to force extra accidental in this case

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

Stefan,

 

From your snippet I assume you want a cautionary accidental on the fifth quaver in the upper voice. In an “unfold” all of the notes are the same. Therefore just one of them (other than the first) cannot have an accidental. See if the attached accomplishes what you want.

Dear community,

how can I force an extra accidental in the upper voice in the below quoted context?

I would like to do it in the defintion of the variable called accidentals.

\version "2.18.2"

 

Uppernotes = { \repeat "unfold" 8 { cis'8 } }

accidentals = { s2 s!4 s } % doesn't work

 

LowerMusic = { r2 c'!8 r r4 }

UpperMusic = { \context Voice << { \Uppernotes } {\accidentals } >> }

 

\score {

\new PianoStaff

<< 

\new Staff \UpperMusic

\new Staff \LowerMusic

>> 

}

 

 

a spacer rest (s) cannot have an accidental

I don't understand what the variable accidentals is supposed to do
