Sorry, but who made that suggestion, please?  This was about notation, not description!

But LilyPond proceeds from a description of the note, and I'm simply saying that the proper description of the note is "F-sharp" rather than "F," regardless of the key signature.

It's unfortunate that you should invent a straw man: I didn't suggest any change.  Nor, in also mentioning the possible confusion, does the manual.

 

I'm simply replying to Harm's comments and to your remark that  "Lilypond operates somewhat counterintuitively and against normal musical thinking".

 

By the way, if you get to have a thousand times as many votes as I do, I'll make a note not to bother competing with you in any future dispute.  ;^)

Not sure how to take that, but I certainly meant no offense.

Best,

David
