Greetings Joram, that’s exactly what this patch does :-) The reason for allowing for "francais" in addition to "français" (which, as you’ve stated, should be regarded as the primary name), is to mirror what we’ve done with regard to "espanol"( which is now aliased to "español", and only still exists for historical reasons). Now, we *could* even remove "francais" altogether (assuming that users who want to keep their source code ascii-only will rather use "italiano" anyway); I’m not entirely sold on this idea but it has been argued at length when I posted my first attempt: https://codereview.appspot.com/239930043/#msg7 Cheers, Valentin. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
