Ah, sorry.  I was looking at the documentation for an earlier build
for which I don't have an arabic.ly.  Hans was using is own \bayati
which may have been defined differently.

It looks like there is something weird with the non-standard key
signatures.  If you specify an alteration as (octave . step) then it
only applies the first time a note of that pitch is written.
