practice is to use@tie{}@code{c} in various octave positions or the
first note of @var{musicexpr}.
-When octaves are specified as above by adding@tie{}@code{'}
+When octaves are specified in absolute mode, by adding@tie{}@code{'}
and@tie{}@code{,} to pitch names, it is easy to accidentally put a
-pitch in the wrong octave. The relative octave mode prevents
+pitch in the wrong octave. The relative octave mode reduces
these errors since most of the time it is not necessary to
indicate any octaves at all. Furthermore, in absolute mode, a
single mistake may be difficult to spot; in relative mode, a
cis cis cis! cis? c c? c! c
@end lilypond
+Accidentals are not printed on tied notes, except when the tie
+crosses a line break, where a reminder accidental is automatically added:

+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,ragged-right,fragment,relative=1]
+cis1~ cis~ \break cis
+@end lilypond
@cindex quarter tones
@cindex semi-flats, semi-sharps
The accidental style applies to the current @code{Staff} by
default (with the exception of the styles @code{piano} and
-@code{piano-cautionary}, see below. Optionally, the function can
+@code{piano-cautionary}, which are explained below).
+Optionally, the function can
take a second argument which determines in which scope the style
should be changed. For example, to use the same style in all
staves of the current @code{StaffGroup}, use
