I made an editing script which used capitals in exactly
that way, and never used it. The best reason to use all
lower case is to minimize the number of note names. To
use capitals doubles the number of note names and makes
correction of input mistakes more complicated.

I like to use capitals for things other than note names,
especially chord names, to prevent confusion.
