Subject: Re: why does lily prints both a natural and sharp sign?I've looked at Ted Ross, Kurt Stone, Gardner Read and Elaine Gould and can't find any explicit mention of this. The closest I can find is page 126 of my Gardner Read, where he shows the double-flat to flat transition as requiring a natural-flat sign to emphasise that it's a single flat. You could argue that a sharp on a note which would normally be flat should have the same natural-sharp notation, to emphasise that you're not sharpening the note (to natural) but making it a sharp.

thanks for the info.
This is standard typesetting rules.
I have several copies of Debussy clair de lune in D flat and I have never
seen a natural sign before the g sharp
Here is an example on IMSLP:
http://imslp.org/wiki/Suite_Bergamasque_%28Debussy%2C_Claude%29#Clair_de_lune_.28No.3.29_2
Is there a place online where these rules can be looked up?
I do not know it is "standard typesetting rules" that accidentals _at
the key signature_ implies extra naturals, though.
Some people have valuable (books) references, such as Ted Ross or
Gardner Read, maybe they could check the "rules" concerning key
signature and extra naturals.
I am not aware of (free) online version of music typesetting rules
(conventions), but again, maybe other users have advice.
