A combination of makam.ly and this definitions.ily should be easy to

or the other) would be better.
Well, here's the question: Shall we add such glyphs at all?
Of course. My wording was wrong here.
I made a small ly-file just to show how the accidentals with numbers
(using the finger style) look like. It is in no way connected to
tuning,
it is just a display for further discussions about the optics.
To my eye, the flat numbers seem a little close to the vertical bar as
compared to the rounded section of the flat. I would nudge them
slightly to the right and slightly downward to balance the spacing.
The sharp numbers seem like they could be moved slightly upward. The
"1" in particular looks odd to me as it is physically connected to the
sharp. Perhaps that is a desired trait, though.
Would it make sense to try to mimic the flat number positioning and have
the sharp numbers in a "superscript" location (crude ASCII art
following):
, , 2
-+-+-
-+-+-
' '
Or, since that increases the width of the accidental, would that push
the sharp too far to the left of a note?
