Thank you, but what I'm trying to mean is not to write a new music in
German but to convert ly file already written in English into German,
for example:
----------------------
\include "english.ly"
c8 d e f g a b c | bes2 des |
b4 b b b|
\bar "|."
-----------------------
    |
    |
   V
----------------------
\include ‘deutsch.ly’
c8 d e f g a h c | b2 des |
h4 h h h|
\bar "|."
-----------------------
I'd like to know how to convert the former file to the latter
automatically, not manually.
