I just discovered that in English, there’s a shorter way to name
notes that would normally be specified with “-sharp” or “-flat”: “s”
and “f”. E.g. “f-sharp” can be written as “fs” and “b-flat” can be
written as “bf”.
However, I noticed that this is not documented in the Music Glossary:
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/music-glossary/pitch-names
In principle this sounds like a good idea. There is, however, a similar
scheme in place since 10 years or longer for certain notes in Turkish
makam scales with its 1/9 intervals. I don't have time to do this now
but if this idea shall be pursued further, any ambiguous overlap should
be investigated and avoided (or is it avoided by using of the makam
definitions file already? - gosh it's been quite some time that I've
used lilypond).
