Thanks, Eyolf.  I was going to post something very sarcastic.  :)
No, wait -- I'm going to do that anyway.  *ahem*

To everybody apart from Eyolf who posted in this thread: musica
ficta can be found through a "see also" link under NR 1.1
Accidentals, directly in NR 2.8.3 Annotational accidentals (musica
ficta), or in NR appendix F index.
