Lilypond has one glyph-finding model for accidentals, and 
the hooks to allow us to override it.  All kinds of things 
are cumbersome or don't work when we do so.  Grace notes are 
another one I noticed.  But at least it's now fairly 
straightforward to get accidentals from arbitrary fonts -- 
with alternative tunings -- where it was basically 
impossible before the pitch model was changed.
