Mensural accidentals and key signatures

The mensural style provides a sharp and a flat sign different from the default style. If called for, the natural sign will be taken from the vaticana style.

The style for accidentals and key signatures is controlled by the glyph-name-alist property of the grobs Accidental and KeySignature, respectively; e.g.:

\override Staff.Accidental #'glyph-name-alist = #alteration-mensural-glyph-name-alist
