The function that the Accidental's 'stencil points to by default does
the job of deciding whether to remove the accidental (if it is the second
note in a tie, and not at a line-break). We (at least I) happen to be
considering to change this, as issue 3749.
This unusual action for a 'stencil has caused all the layout code
to avoid using the 'stencil property, and to go directly to the code
that looks up the accidentals in 'glyph-name-alist.
Specifically, the function that 'horizontal-skylines points to by default
tries to use the glyph-name-alist, so you will need to replace that.
Maybe setting it to #'() will work.
Probably you intend to combine accidentals in a string. If not for that,
you could write their letter names 'm' 'p' etc. in the glyph-name-alist.
