Comment #33 on issue 4076 by address@hidden: allow bn for B-natural in  
English
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4076

Comment #31 seems to get the idea.
The convention on which the usefulness of 'bn' to be helpful is just a  
personal style but also the way we name the note in English, when  
the "-natural" is noteworthy.

The concern before was due to the fact that we skip pronouncing the "-flat"  
in B-flat when it so obvious that pronouncing it would be merely annoying.   
Some people stop _thinking_ "-flat" in those cases, thinking of B as the  
name of the scale-step, which might lead to mistakes in pitch entry.  I  
thought that allowing 'bn' would help those users to remember "type the  
explicit pitches"; the mailing list thought allowing 'bn' would postpone a  
needed re-education.

Therefore we can keep the easier-to-find \language"english" in case people  
are spurred to re-learn by the error message upon 'bn', and let them switch  
to \language"brief" if they consciously decide that they want "'an'  
and 'bn' as synonyms for 'a' and 'b'".
