Comment #24 on issue 4076 by address@hidden: allow bn for B-natural in  
English
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4076

By "Let them use Dutch" to keep a distinction between spoken and lilypond  
names,
as in  
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2014-08/msg00399.html>,
I meant 'c', 'cis', etc., which is what I do.

With \language"english", 'cs' is shorter to type but leaves some of us  
thinking the English names and typing 'cn' when we would pronounce  
the "natural".

J-C, the suggestion was to keep 'c' as representing C-natural, but also  
accept 'cn' for that pitch.  The suggested method to use these names would  
type the single-character 'c' most often, using 'cn' when required for  
clarity.

Most English-speaking American instrumentalists referring to notes in the  
Fauré piece (in D-flat major) would pronounce "A-flat", etc., until  
saying "-flat" becomes annoying, and then use the shorter "A".  C needs no  
qualifier, but for G-natural the "natural"  must be pronounced.

I am not sure abound vocalists.  We learn movable-do here, so in D-flat  
major the G is "fa" and the G-natural is "fi" (pronounced as you would in  
French, because do-re-mi is recognizably of Latin origin).
