I'd like to use English note names (like `gs' and `af' for G-sharp and
A-flat) in a book I'm starting work on.
It works to add this...
\begin{lilypond}
\include "english.ly"
...
\end{lilypond}
But, the \include needs to be repeated for each \begin, \end pair. Is
there a cleaner way to do it?
If you use \lilypondfile{} (with separate files), you could have a
"global-settings.ly" file that you included in each separate lily file.
This _might_ qualify as cleaner, although it would involve more
typing. So unless you had a bunch of other global settings you
wanted to use, I wouldn't recommend this.
Should I just learn the Dutch names? :-)
That's what I did. Although I'm not using the "real" Dutch names -- I
use "ees" and "aes" instead of "es" and "as". :)
(just substitute "-is" for "-s" and "-es" for "-f" -- you'll get used to
them pretty quickly)
