I'm for whatever makes the chart easier to sightread, and accidentals don't bother me one bit.

Double sharps and double flats will take a microsecond to register when sightreading, but the second time around they will be fine.

Any difficult piece of music will find me in the woodshed.

If the rhythm is tricky, I'll count it off in rhythm using 1 E & A 2 E & A … or 1 A LY … and so on. My first band director taught me that, and his words are ringing in my head today, “If you can say it, you can play it.”
