Comment #13 on issue 4076 by address@hidden: allow bn for B-natural in English
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4076

We would write 'gn' when G is sharped or flattened in the key (which is not very often for G) and write 'g' when G-natural is native to the key.

LilyPond separates the concept of the key and the pitch-names, but some of us think of A through G as scale-step names, and mentally translate B into bf or b for LilyPond depending on the key. The dominant seventh in f\major has its B altered from the key, so it is natural to spell <c e g bn>. Hopefully we remember to spell the ii-minor <g bf d> but if we type <g b d> a quick search for naked 'b' will find such errors.
