Thank you. :)

I think this was one of my first attempts at LilyPond hacking.

Sounds like you'd find a suppress-accidental feature useful too
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2009-06/msg00346.html).

Alternatively, I think it would be possible to create a new accidental
style which combines the basic features of one of the standard styles
(would you be using 'default?) with a check for the sixth degree.
