Then he could use 4c8 instead, or does lilypond have any special meaning for prepended digits? hm, then maybe 8c4 is an even better choice ("8th of pitch c4"). I guessed that the request for c4 syntax for pitches is related to some musicological convention where c4 is the actual pitch name

I'm suggesting something more along the lines of \include "english.ly", whereby you can enter fsharp instead of fis. So instead of c', you can enter c4, c5 instead of c''. How would you differentiate c4 meaing "c in the 4th octave" from c4 meaning "a quarter note c"? That's why I don't see any
