The matter really is not that simple:
In Swiss German there is not ß (Eszett) at all. Now you might think that
this is not
my conclusion to your comments is that one would
be expected to use ß, since the music is almost
certainly german or somehow related to the german

For the last decade or so Germany has been embroiled in a purported reform of
the orthography of the German Language (Rechtsschreibreform). Not a bad idea,
