Dear all,

IMHO there should be a natural sign showing the f' after the clef-change: am I 
wrong?

music = \relative c' {
    c8 d e fis
    c d e f
    c8 d e fis
    \clef "alto" c d e f
}
\score {
<<
        { \new Staff #(set-accidental-style 'modern-cautionary 'Staff)
        \music
    }
    { \new Staff #(set-accidental-style 'default 'Staff)
        \music
    }
}

hmmm...my Read says nothing but Stone says

"If a clef changes within a measure and the same note occurs before and after the 
clef change, the accidental must be repeated."

However were this f an octave higher I'd say no natural (cancellation) is 
needed. So is this pitch being judged as higher just because it is 'higher' in 
the staff or is it really an octave higher? Otherwise it ought to have a 
natural by default.

That's my rather on the fence take :)

Don't C-clefs always indicate middle-C?  Hence the F is the same pitch, right?
Cheers,
Mike
You are perfectly right - it's the same pitch :-)
