# Missing note name definitions
Quarter tone pitches had not yet been defined for some input languages.
Missing quarter tone definitions added.
And language names containing special characters now have been switched to
their proper spelling (as it has already been the case for español and
français). Now, there's català and protuguês, too.
The original spellings have been kept as an alternative resp. for reasons of
compatibility.
**File scm/define-note-names.scm**
* nederlands: was OK
* català: proper spelling, *quarter tones added*, (catalan kept for
compatibility)
qb, tqb: "quart de to", "tres quarts de to" bemoll
qd, tqb: "quart de to", "tres quarts de to" diesi
qs, tqs: "quart de to", "tres quarts de to" sostingut
* deutsch: was OK
* english: was OK
* español: main definition renamed, espanol still as an alternative
* français: was OK
* italiano: was OK
* norsk: *quarter tones added*
Dutch/German nomenclature (-ih/-eh)
* português: proper spelling (portugues kept for compatibility)
* suomi: *quarter tones added*
Dutch/German nomenclature (-ih/-eh)
* svenska: *quarter tones added*
Dutch/German nomenclature (-ih/-eh)
* vlaams: *quarter tones added*
solfège with language specific suffixes: hb, hk: "halve bemol", "halve
kruis" etc.
* arabic: a case of its own, unchanged
# Documentation (Notation Reference)
**Files Documentation/*/notation/pitches.itely**
* "Note names in other languages": tables updated and unified in all
languages
* Complete set of quarter tones in all languages
* remarks about quarter tones missing from some languages removed
* All existing pitches.itely files updated (en, ca, de, es, fr, it, ja)
# MusicXML import
**File scripts/musicxml2ly.py**
Map command line language option w/o special characters to proper names.
As a desired side effect, invoking musixml2ly with the old language names, the
LilyPond file will be created using the language specific proper names:
* catalan/catala -> català
* espanol -> español
* francais -> français
* portugues -> português
**File python/musicexp.py**
* language definitions incidentally sorted in common lilypond order
* pitch_general: there are no short forms for quarter tones in Dutch! Quarter
tone import for LilyPond's mother tonguedid not work! eeh/aeh resp. eeseh/aeseh
must remain untouched!
* pitch_nederlands: uses pitch_general
* pitch_catalan: italian note names did not work, proper definition added
* pitch_deutsch: use common special forms eh, ah, asas, asah, etc.
* pitch_english: was OK
* pitch_espanol: was OK
* pitch_francais: was OK
* pitch_italiano: was OK
* pitch_norsk: current deutsch did not fit anymore, special norsk definition
added
* pitch_portugues: was OK
* pitch_suomi: was completely missing
* pitch_svenska: quarter tone import added and wrong bess (->hessess) corrected
* pitch_vlaams: quarter-tone import added
# Tests performed
MusicXML file (created by Musescore 3..4.2) containing a full set of notes
ranging from ceses to bisis in quarter-tone steps has been imported for all
languages (except Arabic).
That way, it is easy to check that all the pitch definitions are there (and
correct), at the same time ensuring that musicxml2ly does not contain any
erroneous or missing pitch conversions.
Attachment: Just oneMusicXML import examle (vlaams in this case) showing all
the pitches. The empty bars are reseverd for extended triple-flat/sharp range.
