Hello Michael,

The message you sent had no attachments, but I can guess at the problem
you're seeing.  In Lilypond, note names define the actual tone, not just
the position on the scale.  e always means E-natural, no matter what key
you are in.  If you want E-flat, you must specify es.

I myself was recently wishing for a mode in which the note names specify
only the position on the staff, and accidentals are implied by the key
signature.

Regards,

Daniel
