Translating notes from one language to another

To change an input file written in a foreign language to your favorite language use \include "…language….ly" and \displayLilyMusic { \melody }.

The translation is by default written to the log; you can redirect this output to a file of your choice using the command lilypond.exe >yourfile.ly (with windows).

The result of the snippet will be in absolute pitch:

{
  c8 d e f g a b c |
  cflat dflat eflat fflat gflat aflat bflat cflat |
  csharp dsharp esharp fsharp gsharp aflat bsharp csharp |
  \bar "|."
    
}
