Well, incidentally, LilyPond is just about to get triple flats and triple
sharps (issue 3356).
And, yes, they do exist.

That's the triple flat accidental in LilyPond's Emmentaler font:

And even LilyPond's \chordmode will use triple accidentals if needed (these
chords don't work in the current official releases yet):

Extremely hard to find in real life, but yes, triple accidentals do exist.

All the best,
Torsten
