Re: makam notation

[Mats Bengtsson]

As long as you use the accidentals that are already defined
in LilyPond, you can easily typeset key signatures with any
combintation of sharps, flats, double sharps and double flats,
see
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/input/regression/out-www/collated-files.html#key-signature-scordatura.ly

However, it gets trickier as soon as you need additional symbols,
since these are not available in the font.
