Comment #19 on issue 4076 by [email protected]: allow bn for B-natural in
English
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4076
I'll have to re-arrange into two commits so that the change clearly
shows 'cn' being added alongside 'c', and also ask on -user to see if
anyone would use this other than the original requester.
Not all English speakers want a 'bn', although I do think all English
speakers would say both words "B-natural" when referring to the note in
tonal music in a mode like F major. So the way we speak to each other
allows two interpretations of what the name 'B' means: the specific pitch
or generic scale-step. The noun-adjective form of the English names allows
for the mental model that 'B' is the name of something that can be either
sharp or natural or flat (though I wonder why this is not more of an issue
in French).
