Ahm, I don't think that will work. In particular, I don't think that using the
*INPUT* language to format *OUTPUT* is a bad idea. E.g. I'm writing everything
in German, because that's the note names I have grown up with. However, in my
scores, I sometimes use Italian note names for tunings.
Although I never work with chord mode, I can imagine someone wanting to create
editions for both German-speaking countries and English-speaking countries. Of
course, it doesn't make sense to require that he rewrites the input file with
different note names, does it?
Rather, there should be an easy way to specify the output language, too.
Cheers,
Reinhold
