[MEI-L] Triple accidentals datatype

Hi all,

I just noticed that there is a small inconsistency in the encoding of accidentals.

Flats are usually encoded as "f", including double-flats ("ff"), natural-flats ("nf"), flat-quarters ("fu"), etc. except for the triple flat, which is encoded as "tb". Could this be changed to "tf" to make it consistent? I don't see any conflicts with other accidental values. While we're at it, would it make sense to change "xs" to "ts" for triple sharp?

Thanks,
-Andrew
