Ah, actually, that was just a bit I copied over from the "MensuralVoice"
definition, but it gets further overridden by my package anyway. What the
\mensura command does is it won't display any accidentals at all, unless you
manually force it to, for each individual instance you want one displayed.

Not quite sure what you mean here. Displaced to the left of any ligature? That's
already done. Or to some arbitrary other position? That might actually be useful
indeed, but I haven't yet figured out a way of doing it. In fact, in the very
first snippet in the documentation file, the natural sign should also be in
front of the whole white note group, and I couldn't do it.

True, they aren't very beautiful. I was taking over the thickness of the
built-in rests from the "mensural" style. I'd need to figure out a way how to
tweak the thickness of the standard smaller rests; adapting the new larger rests
to that is easy.

Thanks for the encouragement!
