That part is not that clear but in the tutorial it is more explicit 
(http://www.recordare.com/musicxml/tutorial/pitch): "The pitch represents the 
sound, not what is notated, so an alter element must be included even if 
represents a flat or sharp that is part of the key signature."

So when there is no <alter> (or it is '0') I have to to find out, based on the 
key, whatever I should use Natural or NoAccidental. When <alter> overrides the 
accidental of the key I need Natural, otherwise NoAccidental.
