No, it was common practice to put accidentals above notes in
older times.
Sometimes these were meant to be optional, sometimes they were
cautinary
accidentals. In any case, if you try to be close to the source,
you should
write it above the note and not as d!4.
Slight correction: it is customary in modern editions to put
editorial
accidentals above the note. They are not optional, but frequently
left to
the performer to apply, according to more or less strict rules
(see "Musica
ficta" in the docs).
Thanks, Eyolf. I was going to post something very sarcastic. :)
No, wait -- I'm going to do that anyway. *ahem*
To everybody apart from Eyolf who posted in this thread: musica
ficta can be found through a "see also" link under NR 1.1
Accidentals, directly in NR 2.8.3 Annotational accidentals (musica
ficta), or in NR appendix F index.
Cheers,
