Title: Accidental placement (Beta 2.14)
Post by: Rick G. on 2007-01-29 11:24 pm
I think 1.75b has it right.

But 1.75 does other things that are not correct...
[The correct version is done with text items.]

But it takes up so much space. I like my 2nd one. It uses a SysFont with 100 Font Design Units shaved off the dblsharp. Unfortunately, flats and nats look a bit too close to leger lines.

G'day Rick,

I'm not at home at the moment so my Alfred's is out of reach, but from memory, (and the rules for accidental placement are fairly convoluted) you are correct, NWC 1.75 is the correct arrangement.

I do know that things run in an anticlockwise circle type arrangement starting at the top of the chord and working down.

K.A.T.
I agree with your manual arrangement.

I have provided another example.  Actually, I had had less space originally, but I thought someone might say it was too cramped. ;)  Also, today's example would place the accidentals

which is why I spaced them out to begin width [haha].
