6.1.3 Cautionary accidentals

Normally accidentals are printed automatically, but you may also print them manually. A reminder accidental can be forced by adding an exclamation mark ! after the pitch. A cautionary accidental (i.e., an accidental within parentheses) can be obtained by adding the question mark `?' after the pitch. These extra accidentals can be used to produce natural signs, too.
