Well, I'd be delighted to give it a try because this sounds exactly like the kind of rather easy task which merely distracts the core team from doing more difficult and really important stuff but gives newcomers like me a chance to play around a little with the code and possibly even make a useful contribution. So I'd very much like to have a look at it. (Shouldn't be too hard since it even seems to resemble a lot the small changing of the NoteHead styles I just submitted). If I am unlucky, however, it may take a few days before I get around to it due to an upcoming examination and my thesis lagging way behind my plans. So if anyone else is faster - go ahead. This is just to tell you that if nobody is interested, I'll most probably give it a try. The quick glance I had last night seems to suggest that apart from adding the metafont source of the new accidentals (which Orm proposed to do) one would simply have to add a new alteration-glyph-name-alist to scm/output-lib.scm and adjust the code where this is set according to the Accidental's style property. However, greping the source code I was not able to find this particular piece of code. Does anyone have a hint? Oops, update: I just found that in python/convertrules.py all occurrences of, Accidental #'style = ... are changed into Accidental #'glyph-name-alist = #alteration-...-name-alist . So it seems that the use of "Accidental #'style" is deprecated and one should set the alteration-alist directly. (But changing the style property still works in v2.11.13, even if I don't know why, given that I couldn't find the code handling it). What is the reason for this? To me the former notation seems much more intuitive and easy to use. BTW, the alteration alist of the default accidentals is called "standard-alteration-glyph-name-alist" instead of "alteration-default-glyph-name-alist". This is handled incorrectly in python/convertrules.py so far. But I'll also repost that in a separate message (if it has not yet been reported).
