Description

Accidentals are the one case (at least that I'm aware of) where a single glyph's presence doesn't create an MEI element of its own (as with neume components, custos, clefs, etc); its presence is registered by adding an attribute to the following glyph. This'll require special treatment in the MEI building routine, though I'm not sure where to put it yet; trying to avoid turning it into a tower of if statements.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the MEI building routine in the codebase to understand how glyphs are processed. Identify the point where accidentals (flats) should be handled as an attribute to the following glyph. Propose a modular approach to avoid complex conditional logic.
