Use the style
property of grob
Accidental (lilypond-internals)
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 (lilypond-internals)
grob.
