One way to handle these accidentals is to use the support for
cautionary accidentals in LilyPond. Currently, these can be
typeset either as an ordinary accidental within parenthesis or
as a smaller size accidental. See
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/input/regression/out-www/collated-files.html#accidental-cautionary.ly
for an example. I seem to remember that there was a discussion on the mailing list some years ago where someone planned to introduce yet another style option, namely to print them on top of the note as you propose. However, it seems that this feature was never implemented.

Thank you for your answer, I will follow your recommendation, and I will use cautionary accidentals.
By the way, the style #'smaller doesn't seem to work.
It would be nice that in the future will be support for a third style to put small cautionaries on top of the notes.
Thanks again. NANCHO

Some time ago, somebody asked to the list how to transcribe the so called "musica ficta".
In the Renaissance era, some of the accidental were not put on the score, although they were supposed to be sung.
Modern editors put a small accidental on top of the note.
See a good description in the message http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2001-09/msg00026.html
Mats gave us a solution in the message
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2002-09/msg00161.html
but as it was pointed out, this solution does not transpose nor is exported to the MIDI file.
Somebody even suggested a possible syntax.
In the documentation I do not see any reference to "musica ficta", is it already implemented? will it be in the future?
I think it is an important feature.
Thank you very much
NANCHO
