Comment #24 on issue 4076 by [email protected]: allow bn for B-natural in
English
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4076
By "Let them use Dutch" to keep a distinction between spoken and lilypond
names,
as in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2014-08/msg00399.html>,
I meant 'c', 'cis', etc., which is what I do.
With \language"english", 'cs' is shorter to type but leaves some of us
thinking the English names and typing 'cn' when we would pronounce
the "natural".
J-C, the suggestion was to keep 'c' as representing C-natural, but also
accept 'cn' for that pitch. The suggested method to use these names would
type the single-character 'c' most often, using 'cn' when required for
clarity.
Most English-speaking American instrumentalists referring to notes in the
Fauré piece (in D-flat major) would pronounce "A-flat", etc., until
saying "-flat" becomes annoying, and then use the shorter "A". C needs no
qualifier, but for G-natural the "natural" must be pronounced.
I am not sure abound vocalists. We learn movable-do here, so in D-flat
major the G is "fa" and the G-natural is "fi" (pronounced as you would in
French, because do-re-mi is recognizably of Latin origin).
