During the web-search I stumbled across
http://www.informatics.indiana.edu/donbyrd/CMNExtremesBody.htm

with some other interesting infos about extreme notation-examples.

After reading the information in the link above that there actually are a couple of scores that use triple sharps, I wondered if Lilypond could notate a triple sharp. It seems not. The example below  gives an error on the fisisis: "error: have to be in Lyric mode for lyrics".

\version "2.17.14"

\relative f' {
  fis1
  fisis
  fisisis
}
