I don’t know what musicxml means by an editorial accidental, but generally an editorial accidental may take lots of forms depending on style/policy: in round parens, in angled brackets, in smaller font size, in grey colour (which I personally like a lot, though it’s difficult to get printed well), or above the staff as Phil already mentioned. The great thing is that with LilyPond you can use a music function and adapt this function in a style sheet. Mine is called \ed for typing economy and offers some abbreviations, like
{ \ed Acc cis }
covering all of Accidental, AccidentalSuggestion, AccidentalCautionary.

Best, Simon
