Comment #19 on issue 4076 by address@hidden: allow bn for B-natural in  
English
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4076

I'll have to re-arrange into two commits so that the change clearly  
shows 'cn' being added alongside 'c', and also ask on -user to see if  
anyone would use this other than the original requester.

Not all English speakers want a 'bn', although I do think all English  
speakers would say both words "B-natural" when referring to the note in  
tonal music in a mode like F major.  So the way we speak to each other  
allows two interpretations of what the name 'B' means: the specific pitch  
or generic scale-step.  The noun-adjective form of the English names allows  
for the mental model that 'B' is the name of something that can be either  
sharp or natural or flat (though I wonder why this is not more of an issue  
in French).
