Re: why is Dutch the default language for note-entry?

Very strange for me. Isn't it disturbing to use the same syllable for different words? Actually for me it is especially strange because of Hungary's strong use of Kodály's solmization method, where this melody would be sung as "la la si la so fi so" (independently of the absolute pitch), so actually the "la la sol la sol fa sol" would really mean "a a g a g f g".

Once a French conductor sang the melody "a a gis a g fis g" with the words
"la la sol la sol fa sol". It was very funny.
    

Then you could die of laughing if you come to any of the orchestras,
music schools or conservatoires in Spain...
