Hello community,
I think I've found an inconsistency between the 2.22 documentation and
LilyPond's actual behavior. If you go to the Automatic Accidental
page...
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/notation/displaying-pitches#automatic-accidentals
...and scroll down the "piano" section, you will see this sentence:
"This accidental style applies to the current GrandStaff or PianoStaff
by default."
But that's not the case. Here is a fairly minimal working example:
%%%
\version "2.22.1"
\language "english"
rightHand = \relative {
\time 2/4
| g8 [ c af df ]
| a8 [ d bf ef ]
}
leftHand = \relative {
\time 2/4
\clef bass
| <g, g,>8 [ <c c,> <af af,> <df df,> ]
| <a a,>8 [ <d d,> <bf bf,> <ef ef,> ]
}
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff \rightHand
\new Staff \leftHand
>>
\new PianoStaff <<
\accidentalStyle piano
\new Staff \rightHand
\new Staff \leftHand
>>
%%%
On the first staff, the A and D in the second measure do not have a
cautionary natural sign but in the second, it does. This shows that
the default accidental style is not "piano". Am I missing anything?
I think LilyPond's behavior should match the documentation, because
having the accidental style default to "piano" in a PianoStaff seems
like the expected behavior.
