A non-techie might have problems knowing the difference between # and ♯, and 
between b and ♭
And what about the double-sharp? What symbol would be used for that?

I agree it is easier to read. But you normally don't use LilyPond just to 
read music. But if you do, you are definitely not a non-techie :-)

IMO opinion using these unicode symbols for sharps and flats is an 
interesting idea - but I personally will probably never use it.
