There are predefined sets of note names for various other
languages.  To use them, include the language-specific init file. 
For example, to use English notes names, add
<code>\include&nbsp;"english.ly"</code><!-- /@w --> to the top of the input file. 
The available language files and the note names they define are:

   <p>In Dutch, <code>aes</code> is contracted to <code>as</code>, but both forms
are accepted in LilyPond.  Similarly, both <code>es</code> and
<code>ees</code> are accepted.  This also applies to
<code>aeses</code>&nbsp;/&nbsp;<code>ases</code> and
<code>eeses</code>&nbsp;/&nbsp;<code>eses</code>.  Sometimes only these
contracted names are defined in the corresponding language files.

Some music uses microtones whose alterations are fractions of a
&lsquo;normal&rsquo; sharp or flat.  The note names for quarter-tones
defined in the various language files are listed in the following
table.  Here the prefixes <var>semi-</var> and <var>sesqui-</var>
mean &lsquo;half&rsquo; and &lsquo;one and a half&rsquo;, respectively.  For the other
languages, no special names have been defined yet.
