See NR 1.1.1 -> Accidentals...

Actually, your problem has nothing to do with musica ficta. You are trying to 
typeset a turn ornament with an accidental above/below (see e.g. 
http://musicxml.org/xml/samples/MozaChloSample.pdf). The accidental in this 
case does NOT apply to the note itself, but to a note that is played as part 
of the turn. In particular, the c2 with the delayed turn (with the natural 
below the turn) is actually played as:

c4 d16 c16 b!16 c16

Without the natural below the turn (and assuming you were cutting that part 
from a piece set with at least one flat in the key signature, e.g. \key f 
\major), the turn would be played as

c4 d16 c16 bes16 c16

(Notice the difference in b and bes).

One possible solution is to print the turn and the accidental in one markup:
\markup {\column {\musicglyph #"scripts.turn" \natural}}

Of course, then you are still left with your slur problem. Plus, the natural 
sign is too far below the turn in this markup...

Cheers,
Reinhold
