I think it should be done similarly to ancient music support: add a
new kind of context, for example KievanVoice.
See how mensural notation works now - an example:
\relative c''
\new MensuralVoice { % without this, usual notation is printed
bes4 a2 g2 f8 e fis2 g1
}
As far as i know, MensuralVoice contexts sets some properties like
NoteHead #'style = #'mensural and so on. If i remember correctly,
these specific settings are described in a file in ly/ directory,
probably engraver-init.
Of course you'll have to modify appropriate c++ files to make sure
that setting the style of anything to "kievan" will do what you want.
Let me know if you need more detailed description.
HTH,
Janek
