Option for duplicating accidentals on tied notes after line or page breaks

When a note modified by an accidental is tied over multiple measures, it would be useful to have an option to automatically repeat the accidental after a page or line break, or even after each bar line. Repeating after a page break, if on an instrument part, would save the performer having to flip back to see what the original note was.

This doesn't actually work on tied notes, though - at least not in 2.0.3. Adding the accidental breaks the tie. And the point is, the accidental should *only* appear on the second note of the tie if it is on a different system than the first note. Since measures can move freely between systems as you edit the score, it would be a bad idea to insert these manually even if it did work.

I would mostly agree with you about the accidental only on the 2nd note. I would like that to be the default with a manually added accidental or respelled 2nd note not breaking the tie. I have seen scores where the accidental on the 2nd note helps to clarify what is going on when the staff gets too busy or the 1st note is modified by an accidental early in a busy measure.
