Then he could use 4c8 instead, or does lilypond have any special
meaning for prepended digits?
hm, then maybe 8c4 is an even better choice ("8th of pitch c4"). I
guessed
that the request for c4 syntax for pitches is related to some
musicological
convention where c4 is the actual pitch name.
Yes, this is precisely the idea. I'm typesetting music which jumps
around a lot and instead of a,,, and a,, and c''''' and c'''' which
becomes very confusing, the convention I am using (simply because I
am most familiar with it) is c-1, c0, c6, c7 and so forth. It is
simply easier to see at a glance which octave it is. But of course I
do see where the problem lies as duration are also digits.
Never mind, it was worth trying!
