I just make a copy of the english.ly file that names the notes, and make my changes there. Then in all of my lilypond scores, I just #include that changed file. I use it for a "transposition key" as a note name "tk" that I can tweak in one location and have it propagate as needed. >Another think is about transposing.

So if it sounds wrong, you'll want to check the original source. Regards, Rick
