Comment #9 on issue 1670 by k-ohara5...@oco.net: Allow numbers in variable names: violin1mvt2 = c'
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1670

Accidentally, this leaked into in the draft 2.15.16 user manual:
  The previous example could also be written as follows:
     "custom-tuning" = \stringTuning <c' g' d'' a''>

It came from automatic conversion of what was formerly Scheme code. The quotes allow the otherwise forbidden hyphen '-' into the variable name.

I make the following modest proposal: Scheme variables used in LilyPond should conform to the rules for LilyPond variables. customHtuning is no harder than custom-tuning to read or type, and it keeps the syntax cleaner.
