Of course you are right that the correct spelling is -is and > -es both in German and Danish.
Exactly, the spelling in German is (remember: h - not b - is the note below c) -is for all sharps, -es for flats, except as and es, and b instead of hes -isis for all double sharps -eses for all double flats, BUT: asas (or ases), eses, and heses (instead of the bes, which you might expect) See: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderssprachige_Tonbezeichnungen http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppel-b http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppelkreuz_(Musik) Cheers, Reinhold -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Reinhold Kainhofer, Vienna University of Technology, Austria email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://reinhold.kainhofer.com/ * Financial and Actuarial Mathematics, TU Wien, http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/ * K Desktop Environment, http://www.kde.org, KOrganizer maintainer * Chorvereinigung "Jung-Wien", http://www.jung-wien.at/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
