That's correct, you'll have to write the fis, gis and cis as, well,
fis, gis and cis! That's because a 'cis' (or 'c sharp') is a different
note from a 'c' (c 'natural').

If you'd rather write 'cs' for 'cis', I guess you'll have to include
'english.ly' somewhere. Since Lilypond is originally written for Dutch
musicians, the default is dutch note names...

See

for more information.
