LilyPond's input language has no representation for c-natural as opposed
to c-unkeyed-yet . Any kind of implementation would be doomed without
that, anyway. Once you have that, it really becomes a tricky question
of where c-unkeyed-yet would get its final pitch. And how this is
supposed to behave with regard to transposition: transposing half a step
up and down again should be a do-nothing, so you'd actually also need a
cis-unkeyed-yet . Do we have a headache yet?
