It could help, if there is a parallel glossary in another
mothertongue. This is not the case, as there is only an English
version - AFAIK. Do you really think, a non English speaker will find
a word in an English glossary one does not know?
I’d recommend going to
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/music-glossary-big-page>
and searching the term you want using your browser (CTRL+F in firefox).
Beside all that, language is a malleable like Plasticine, that is true
especially for English, as everybody must speak English, even if one
does not know it (just my case). That is the price of the English for
the "lingua franca" of our days! But obviously there are musical
sectors that use "tail" instead of "stem" - would you say it is
absolutely wrong or really incomprehensible?
It’s odd and difficult to understand to not use the standard term.
Realize that measure and bar mean the same in different (english
speaking) areas of our world.
Agreed. I use these quite interchangeably – which is supported by the LP
glossary, by the way.
Yours, Simon
