I think I understand your problem.  You think that aes writes a flat,
and bis writes a sharp.  This is _not_ how LilyPond works.  Instead you
write the pitch you want to hear.  LilyPond will decide by its own rules
when it needs a sharp, a flat, or a natural.

What you write as a is _always_ played on a white key, what you write as
fis is _always_ played on a black key.
