For q this thread is, as far as I remember, first mention.  For
Completion_heads_engraver, there was the thread explicitly mentioned in
the issue description of issue 3593.

With Completion_heads_engraver the issue might be called
"Completion_heads_engraver should not repeat forced/cautionary accidentals"

I think the thread for that also mentioned articulations, but those are
probably trickier: you'd likely want a tie/slur begin to move to the
last generated note, but keep fingerings/text scripts on the first, and
stuff like manual beams make my head hurt.  The first approximation
would likely just drop all articulations on repeated notes.

For q (chord repeats), there is just one issue.

"chord repeats should not repeat forced/cautionary accidentals".  That's
pretty straightforward.
