Subject: es means ees???
In the lilypond 2.19 installed file
usr/share/lilypond/current/ly/chord-modifiers-init.ly
I see the following at line 27
<c es ges>-\markup { \super "o" } % should be $\circ$ ?
Here, instead of ees, is written es.
I've tried this out, and it appears to be a synonym, but I don't see
this documented. Anyone know what's going on?

*********************
I'm not sure about actually being documented but I do recall seeing this
written somewhere. Your surmise is correct; 'ees' and 'es' *are* synonyms. I
think the logic runs like this; d = d and d + es = des (d-flat) so e + es = ees
= e-flat as 'es' by itself actually indicates a flat sign. I think that 'es'
is the normal usage, however, and it is a bit shorter. I've always just used
'es' and later learned that 'ees' was a synonym. I think that 'as' and 'aes'
may also be synonyms as well.
