I just discovered that in English, there’s a shorter way to name notes that would normally be specified with “-sharp” or “-flat”: “s” and “f”. E.g. “f-sharp” can be written as “fs” and “b-flat” can be written as “bf”.
However, I noticed that this is not documented in the Music Glossary: https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/music-glossary/pitch-names. Only the “-sharp” and “-flat” name are mentioned there. Is there a reason this behavior is not documented? It is certainly much easier to type the shorter name than the longer one but I don’t want to rely on something that might break unexpectedly. ✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝ Fr. Samuel, OSB (R.
