Quote: "The bar line at the end of the measure cancels accidentals and
one reverts to the key signature ..."
... unless the note is extended by one or more ties, in which case the
accidental is continued until the tie stops! (Although reminders if it
goes on to the next line are common)

Actually, common knowledge or not it is taught to beginners and is used
by most people for "conventional" music, but not, for example, in
notation where a key signiature is never used where (usually) every
note it natural unless it has a sharp or flat attached (natural signs
are not required), and in many other genres. However, there are legion
examples where the "rules" are made up by the composer/copyist
seemingly at random.
