Hello Charbel,
Yes, half-flats are possible in MEI and verovio. Here is the MEI list of
accidentals:
http://music-encoding.org/guidelines/v3/data-types/data.accidental.explicit.html
("1qf" is the name of the "one quarter-tone flat" in MEI data)
> if yes can we also encode this half-flat at the beginning of the musical
piece (armature) in order to apply it to a specified string in the musical
measure?
Do you mean include half-flats in the key signature, or another graphical
system for the instrument tuning? The first should be possible in MEI,
although I do not know if it is implemented in verovio, the second is
unlikely implemented in verovio, and probably not in MEI.
Here is an example with half-flats. The rendering in verovio:
