In European music from before about 1600, singers were expected to chromatically alter notes at their own initiative according to certain rules. This is called musica ficta. In modern transcriptions, these accidentals are usually printed over the note.
Support for such suggested accidentals is included, and can be
switched on by setting suggestAccidentals
to true.
fis gis \set suggestAccidentals = ##t ais bis
This will treat every subsequent accidental as musica
ficta until it is unset with \set suggestAccidentals =
##f
. A more practical way is to use \once \set
suggestAccidentals = ##t
, which can even be defined as a
convenient shorthand:
ficta = { \once \set suggestAccidentals = ##t } \score { \relative c'' \new MensuralVoice { \once \set suggestAccidentals = ##t bes4 a2 g2 \ficta fis8 \ficta e! fis2 g1 } }
