Hi Jacques,

Well, the NR states:

The name of a variable must have alphabetic characters only, no numbers, 
underscores, or dashes.

That excludes spaces explicitly. The fact that you can use a quoted string is 
undocumented and may therefore become unsupported at any time. In Scheme, you 
cannot have strings as variable identifiers. I would be disinclined to move too 
far away from Scheme syntax, even though lilypond may allow it.

Most lilypond users would write bellaMelodia, conventionally. In terms of 
readability, it’s clearer to read than the string with quotes, I reckon.

but I couldn’t find such a possibility in the 2.19.31 Notation Reference, even 
though that may be useful.
