I believe you can get the notenames you want by translating the strings
"notename|b" and similar in the .po file. Let me know if this is not good
enough.
I hope you have read http://solfege.org/Solfege/TranslateSolfege

> Greetings from Finland,

> In schools we use the German notename system in which notename 'b' is
> 'h' (for the other exceptions check the bottom of the message).
> Translating the notenames to this system does not seem to work fully:
> For example Id tone config window shows 'h' but even in the same
> exercise the Practise window always uses 'b'.
>
> Most people I've played with speak about 'b' instead of 'h' so this
> would not be such a major problem for most rockers but since I have
> found Solfege potentially promising tool for the children beginning
> classical training at the conservatory, I would be prone to think that
> the more traditionally oriented teachers would greet the software and
> use it with even more enthusiasm if there was no notename mismatch
> between the software and their books. Thus getting the German system
> work would be recommended.

> The best possible solution would be that the user could set the notename

> I'm not totally new to Poedit, but while translating Solfege it seems
