For determining when to print an accidental, several different rules

@table @var

@item symbol
The symbol is the name of the context in which the following rules are to be
applied.  For example, if @var{context} is @rinternals{Score} then all
staves share accidentals, and if @var{context} is @rinternals{Staff} then
all voices in the same staff share accidentals, but staves do not.

@item procedure
The procedure represents an accidental rule to be applied to the previously
specified context.

The procedure takes the following arguments:

@table @code

@item context
The current context to which the rule should be applied.

@item pitch
The pitch of the note to be evaluated.

@item barnum
The current bar number.

@item measurepos
The current measure position.

natural should be added.  The second states whether an accidental should be

Enable bar numbers for all bars, including the first one and broken
bars (which get bar numbers in parentheses).

@item first-bar-number-invisible
Enable bar numbers for all bars (including broken bars) except the
first one.  If the first bar is broken, it doesn't get a bar number
either.

@item first-bar-number-invisible-save-broken-bars
Enable bar numbers for all bars (including broken bars) except the
first one.  A broken first bar gets a bar number.

@item first-bar-number-invisible-and-no-parenthesized-bar-numbers
Enable bar numbers for all bars except the first bar and broken bars.
This is the default.

@item (every-nth-bar-number-visible @var{n})

for bars 2, 4, 6, etc.
