[MEI-L] Half flats and custom key signatures in MEI

[Roland, Perry D. (pdr4h)]

In the next version of MEI, currently under development, one can associate SMuFL code points with accidentals in the key signature like so --

<scoreDef meter.count="11" meter.unit="8">
  <staffGrp>
    <staffDef n="1" clef.line="2" clef.shape="G" lines="5" key.sig="mixed">
      <keySig>
        <keyAccid pname="e" oct="4" accid="1qf" glyph.auth="smufl" glyph.num="U+E442"/>
        <keyAccid pname="b" oct="4" accid="f"/>
      </keySig>
    </staffDef>
  </staffGrp>
</scoreDef>

I'll leave the question about Verovio support to someone else.
