The proposed \language "abbreviated" met resistance, arguing that it is a worse choice than adding 'bn' to \language "english", and that any use of 'bn' in LilyPond implies some distinction to 'b' that LilyPond does not preserve. Nevertheless, written English uses -natural in a systematic way https://archive.org/stream/wellknownpianoso00wilkrich/ wellknownpianoso00wilkrich_djvu.txt and I find that helpful in typing LilyPond, so I am taking Michael Ellis' suggestion to use an include file containing the note names I use pitchnames = #`( (cff . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 0 DOUBLE-FLAT)) (cf . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 0 FLAT)) (c . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 0 NATURAL)) (cn . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 0 NATURAL)) %% et cetera #(ly:parser-set-note-names parser pitchnames) _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
