    I'm starting to wonder if all notated accidentals in this piece are treated as courtesy accidentals if the normal reading treats them as redundant and accidentals that actually change notes if the normal reading treats them as non-redundant. Seemingly the only accidentals I'd treat as affecting subsequent notes here are the ones in the last slur of the Shiwa part, with the other D#s in the slur being courtesy accidentals.

    The composer gives his e-mail on the webpage, so maybe you can ask him directly. Also, the music in the webpage is just a sample, so maybe the full publication includes additional performance notes? Finally, the webpage lists recordings which you can use to transcribe anything that is unclear in the score. I know this is not an answer you asked for, but this is also not a standard notation, so it doesn't necessarily follow any standardized rules. Commented yesterday

    Ah, thanks for pointing out that—I had missed that the anthology CD 日本の作曲家2010 includes a recording of this piece. That seems exceedingly hard to get where I live, but one library not too far away has the full score at least. I'll try the score first and if there's no notes, email the composer.

    All the naturals that I see closely follow a note of the same pitch-class that had a flat or sharp. They certainly seem like courtesies. Commented 20 hours ago
