Ugh.

Being cleverer than LilyPond rarely pays off.

mus = \relative c''
{ c4 d e \once \set suggestAccidentals = ##t fis
}

\score {
  \new MensuralStaff \with { \override AccidentalSuggestion.glyph-name-alist =
                             #alteration-mensural-glyph-name-alist }
    {
      \new MensuralVoice { \mus }
