Is that true? In mine (2.10.25, installed with Ubuntu) it's certainly
not the case and the (Dutch) -is/-es notation is the default asked for.
The documentation for 2.11 on the Lilypond website also gives the Dutch
-is/-es forms as default (and, for quarter-tones, -ih/-eh -- is there an
english.ly version of this, à la -qs/-qf?)
If english.ly's syntax is to be the default (which makes sense to me,
but then, I'm biased:-), the documentation needs substantial rewriting.
By the way, I'm chuffed to see that 2.11 has fixed the quarter-tone
notation to use consistent (and standard-ish) symbols for the 1/4 and
3/4 flats. Now .... (ever in search of perfection.....) is it possible
to switch to the arrow-on-accidental notation? :-)
