Graham Breed wrote a file for equal temperaments for an earlier version of 
LilyPond, which I was able to tweak for the latest version (discussed on the 
devel list). When using the currently available microtonal symbols, then also 
key signatures seemed to work fine - a problem in the past.

The latest code is here: https://bitbucket.org/x31eq/microlily

I thought it was up to date.  I can take patches if it isn't.

So it seems that all one has to do in order to get decent microtonality into 
LilyPond is to include this version of Graham’s file in the distribution and 
add microtonal symbols so that they can be called like the ones currently 
available.

Sagittal works for accidentals as a text font. It should work for key signatures as well, but I don't test that. I didn't use a music font because it was too much trouble to create a music font with Sagittal. Also, it's possible to use strings for chained accidentals with a text font. This would be important for Extended Helmholtz if anybody wired it up.

With 2.16.0, everything works except the accidentals sometimes crash the barlines.
