Well I wondered if it was allowed; I think I found it as a mistake. I had one 
piece I wrote in 'my style', which consists on 'how small byte size can I 
go'. LilyPond reads it fine, but emacs can't even color it. It was about 
2k-2.5k in size; It went up at least an additional k after I went back and 
redid it to my current standards. 'es' was just 1 of the things I was using 
to shorted my files back then.
