Excellent, as always.  Thanks.

Well, not really.  Should AccidentalSuggestion.glyph-name-alist be
changed by default here?  Or are the ficta signs in mensural music
usually added as well as styled modernly?

I think it should be changed by default for mensural music. I have never seen a modern style accidental in mensural music. I also believe their meaning is different: it seems simply an alternative way of showing an accidental, rather than illustrating an editorial suggestion.

Should there be some more obvious interface?  And/or documentation?

I think if it's not the default, then it should be documented. If it is the default, probably no need.
