I’m not sure if I understand correctly, but if I do that won’t work for 
all languages: In German “fes” is f-flat, while “f es” is f and e-flat, 
you cannot know whether “es” is the suffix “-flat” or the complete pitch 
name “e-flat”. And how about “feses”? That could be “f es es”, “fes es” 
or “f eses”.
