<br>
@accid.ges is frequently used to make an accidental specified by the key signature explicit for individual notes. In F-maj, you wouldn't use @accid="f" on every b, but adding @accid.ges="f" for every b makes processing much easier. @accid.ges denotes an accidental that is audible, but not visible. However, the absence of the attribute doesn't mean that the b should be played as natural in F-maj. So in most cases, it is just a convenience, but the attribute can be very handy when it comes to specifying the range of written accidentals, which doesn't necessarily end at the barline in certain repertoires.<br>
<br>
Regarding the original question, there are more valid answers. My first take would be to keep it as simple as possible. Obviously, the @accid attribute doesn't allow any additional markup to specify it's function. The next best solution is to use the <accid> child of <note>. Besides an @accid attribute, it also has @func (allowed values: 'edit' or 'caution') and @place. Your example could be encoded like so:<br>
<br>
<note pname="g" oct="4" dur="2"><br>
<accid accid="s" func="edit" place="above"/><br>
</note><br>
<br>
Of course, you could provide an @accid.ges on the note, if this helps your workflow. Editorial markup like <choice> (with a pair of <orig> and <reg>) or (maybe more appropriate) <supplied> is equally possible, but not necessarily required for your purpose (as far as I understand). Since your encoding reflects a translation into a different notational system anyway, I think it's not necessary to make the music ficta even more special than in the solution suggested above.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>

> Guidelines: "records the performed pitch inflection when it differs from the written accidental". It seems that it can be an attribute of <note>. So, what if a note has no written accidental, but an accidental needs to be performed? Here we are not dealing with an editorial amendment proper (<supplied>) but we are to make explicit what is implicit in how the music works (or what the editor believes the original notation means). I thought that @accid.ges may be a possible alternative to <reg> (which otherwise I would be inclined to use).<br>

Another solution might be to encode the editorial meaning of such an accidental using the <choice> tag; while <orig> seems to work for the original reading, the best tag for the editorial reading is unclear. <reg>?<br>
