Alteration value in localAlterations can now be 'tied?

[Simon Albrecht]

Hello everybody,

I hope it is appropriate for me to post this here, I haven’t closely 
followed development for a long time.

I have a custom accidental style following 18th century usage (example 
attached) which fails in 2.23.6 because the internals have changed. 
Namely, for the sixth note in the attached example, the alteration value 
query returns the symbol tied instead of a number.

I’ve tried to find the merge request or issue corresponding to this 
change, and haven’t found anything. Even looking directly at 
<https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/blob/master/scm/music-functions.scm#L1696> 
shows no change. Can someone point me in the right direction to 
understand how I should adapt my code?

I do think this accidental style might be a worthwhile addition to 
openLilyLib or even to LilyPond itself, but I’m not sure the coding is 
good enough.

Best, Simon
