That way you don't break existing code, but you simplify lily itself in that there is just one function. That’s what I would do too. I just have to figure out, which functions have to be put in which files. The current functions and markup-commands are spread across translation-functions.scm and define-markup-commands.scm. Oh, and by the way, to throw yet another variation into the mix, in the (very few) scores I've seen that go past Z, they all go AA, BB, and not Aa, Bb.

That way you don't break existing code, but you simplify lily itself in that there is just one function. When alphabet was added (for me :-) there was a random mix of frames, content, etc. Somebody kindly wrote both bar-number and alphabet for me, and I went through the random muddle pointing out which combinations were missing, resulting in the (hopefully) sane set we have today :-) So your function would keep any additions sane, in that any combination is possible.

Find the function that defines "letters" as "ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ". Copy it into the appropriate place in your score (I've made mine an include file, much easier) and change J to I. Then carry on using box-letters, just that your custom version skips J. The alternative is to use mark-alphabet, and after "\mark \default %I", instead of doing \default, do "\mark 10", which explicitly jumps J.
