There seems to be a problem: Graham originally retuned pitchnamesEnglish, but
that is no longer used in english.ly, which merely invokes \language “english".
Also, there LilyPond has a separate system for key signatures, so if one wants
working microtonal such, one is essentially stuck with equal temperaments a
multiple of 12.
If you don’t actually need E31 to be played, you might use E36, E60 or
something. I have a file for E36.
