Frankly, I suspect that their names are essentially misappropriated from LilyPond and fixed for obvious problems. But yes, that would imply the choice of having b exclusively as a replacement for hes but base all other note names regularly on h . I don't know whether there are actual standards, but I'll count that as an independent vote that this might be the sanest extension into quarternote territory. > On 2/9/20 5:52 PM, David Kastrup wrote: >> mari+lilyp...@mailbox.org writes: >> >>>> On 2/9/20 1:49 PM, David Kastrup wrote: >>>>> mari+lilyp...@mailbox.org writes: >>>>> >>>>>> when converting a mxl file with "musicxml2ly --language=deutsch" the >>>>>> note "beses" is converted to "bes".

To help mitigating damage, feel free to forward problematic posts to me adding a subject like "timeout 1d" (for a suggested timeout of 1 day) or "offensive". _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
