I hate that "f". "b" for flats makes more sense to me, and I use
that sometimes too. And IMO the option of using "#" for sharps
would be a good idea. That makes a language suitable for
indicating music to be written by hand or quoting a few
notes or chords in text. If it could be used to enter notes in
lilypond as well, it would be very much more useful, IMO.

I'd call it American-International.

Kindest regards, Rale
