Apart from the onraging discussion and/or non-discussion on bn for b
natural on issue 4076
<URL:https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4076>, I found
another thing that I find dissatisfactory, namely the default _output_
of music expressions. We have for
\language "english"
\displayLilyMusic \transpose c cs { c d e f g a b }
the output
lilypond /tmp/ugh.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.19.16
Processing `/tmp/ugh.ly'
Parsing...
{
csharp dsharp esharp fsharp gsharp asharp bsharp
}
I am not convinced that the verbose english style is desirable here, in
particular since we have for
\language "english"
\displayLilyMusic \transpose c cqs { c d e f g a b }
the output
GNU LilyPond 2.19.16
Processing `/tmp/ugh.ly'
Parsing...
{
cqs dqs eqs fqs gqs aqs bqs
}
Now one could state that this should be cured by giving verbose names to
quarter accidentals as well, but I think that this will lead to music
that more often than not reads other than one would type it.
So I think we should likely reorder the English notename language such
that the default output is the abbreviated form. Thoughts?
