Unfortunately, it seems that the language is hard-coded in the current
implementation. That shouldn't be hard to change though.

In LilyPond version 2.11, you can use
   \override NoteNames.NoteName   #'extra-spacing-width = #'(-2 . 2)
I spent a few minutes to find some setting that works in 2.10 but didn't
manage. It should certainly be possible, in some way.
