minor chord names lowercase - es problem

Hi,
someone of you wrote the following function for me some year before, that 
allows me to set minor chords in lowercase instead of attaching „m“:

#(define (conditional-string-downcase str condition)
  (if condition
      (string-downcase str)
      str))

#(define (pitch-alteration-semitones pitch)
 (inexact->exact (round (* (ly:pitch-alteration pitch) 2))))

#(define ((chord-name->german-markup-text-alteration
         B-instead-of-Bb) pitch lowercase?)
 "Return pitch markup for PITCH, using german note names.
If B-instead-of-Bb is set to #t, real german names are returned.
Otherwise, semi-german names (with Bb and below keeping the
british names).  Alterations are indicated with -es and -is
instead of the flat and sharp symbols."
 (let* ((name (ly:pitch-notename pitch))
        (alt-semitones  (pitch-alteration-semitones pitch))
        (n-a (if (member (cons name alt-semitones) `((6 . -1) (6 . -2)))
                 (cons 7 (+ (if B-instead-of-Bb 1 0) alt-semitones))
                 (cons name alt-semitones))))
   (make-line-markup
    (list
     (make-simple-markup
      (conditional-string-downcase
       (vector-ref #("C" "D" "E" "F" "G" "A" "H" "B") (car n-a)) 
      lowercase?))
     (let ((alteration (/ (cdr n-a) 2)))
       (cond
          ((= alteration FLAT) (make-simple-markup "es"))
          ((= alteration SHARP) (make-simple-markup "is"))
          (else empty-markup)))))))


My only problem with that is, that es major is now displayed as „Ees“ instead 
of just „Es“.
I guess I just need a (case within (= alteration FLAT), but I still don’t speak 
Lisp (yet)...
