My reputable reference manual[1] agrees with Rune vis-à-vis note names in German. It doesn't mention Danish or Swedish, so I will defer to Rune and Mats, respectively, and make the necessary changes -- one 's' or two respectively -- in the list of pitch names at the back of the glossary. I'll also see what other messes I have to clean up, passim. KK [1] The New Harvard Dictionary of Music, ed.
