It is very similar to Helmholtz notation, from his book of 1863 "On the Sensations of Tone as a Physiological Basis for the Theory of Music" The difference being that Hermann von Helmholtz used capital letters C where LilyPond uses c, and then lower primes C, where LilyPond uses c,,
That book implies that the notation was already common. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
