aspell has the --extradicts parameter.  "ignoring" English is the same
as accepting English.

And what about ignoring lilypond code? It is also very cumbersome.

We may add the lilypond syntax to the personal dictionary? Not tested...

--extra-dicts doesn't seem to work as supposed by David.

I'm afraid that you can't check two different languages at the same time and extra-dicts refer to different dictionaries _within the same language_ (e.g.: en_GB, en_CA, en_US):

I tried this command:

$ aspell --mode=texinfo --master=it --extra-dicts=en check common-notation.itely 

Errore: Expected language "it" but got "en".
