i disagree. letters are notes, not pitches. in lilypond, letter c is note
C (do, ut, whatever), and letters cis are note C sharp. the pitch depends
on the octave (which in lilypond depends on the context) and eventually
also on the transposition. also, if you play middle C on a piano, it's the
same pitch as B sharp or D double flat, but they are different notes.

so the first slide (letters are notes) is correct, in my opinion, and the
second (letters are pitches) is wrong.
