I think it's true only for German and Scandinavian languages. Maybe they also use it in Poland, etc., not sure though. In Dutch it's definitely not used, although they name their notes the same as Germans in any other way. Well, and the souther countries use the solmization system to name their notes. > Being English it feels weird to me, but presumably it's second nature to > the continentals :-) Well, although I've grown up using H instead of B I don't like to use it anymore because it doesn't make sense at all. ;) I prefer much the Dutch way, since it's so similar but hasn't got this minor error. -- Neu: GMX FreeDSL Komplettanschluss mit DSL 6.000 Flatrate + Telefonanschluss für nur 17,95 Euro/mtl.!* http://dsl.gmx.de/?ac=OM.AD.PD003K11308T4569a _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
