Hi Alec,
Welcome to the community! :)
I'm glad you got that question sorted out. One thing I wanted to mention:
The include of english.ly allows you to use English names for sharps and
flats, however you now can use *\language "english" *instead of the include.
I believe that is the preferred way for English names, from my
understanding.
Good luck!
