Use the style
property of grob Accidental to
select ancient accidentals. Supported styles are
mensural
, vaticana
, hufnagel
and medicaea
.
As shown, not all accidentals are supported by each style. When trying to access an unsupported accidental, LilyPond will switch to a different style, as demonstrated in input/test/ancient-accidentals.ly.
Similarly to local accidentals, the style of the key signature can be
controlled by the style
property of the
KeySignature grob.
In this manual: Pitches, Chromatic alterations and Accidentals give a general introduction into the use of accidentals. Key signature gives a general introduction into the use of key signatures.
