In European music from before about 1600, singers were often expected to chromatically alter notes at their own initiative. This is called ‘Musica Ficta’. In modern transcriptions, these accidentals are usually printed over the note.
Support for such suggested accidentals is included, and can be
switched on by setting suggestAccidentals
to true.
fis gis \set suggestAccidentals = ##t ais bis
This will treat every subsequent accidentals as
musica ficta until it is unset with \set
suggestAccidentals = ##f
. A more convenient way is to use
\once
:
fis gis \once \set suggestAccidentals = ##t ais ais bis
