Comment #14 on issue 903 by percival.music.ca: Enhancement: a more  
user-friendly way to specify notename languages
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=903

Historically, we have changed the syntax whenever the whim struck us.  This  
policy is
changing; there will be no syntax changes within stable numbers (i.e.  
2.12.x,
2.14.y).  As for "client programs", I'm thinking of things like  
lilywizardtemplate
(or whatever it's called).  If we change the format of  
\include "language.ly", then
this tool will break.  That's not a *huge* problem, but we shouldn't do it  
randomly.


In addition, lilypond 3.0 (estimated 12-18 months from now) will have a  
stable syntax
for normal, non-tweaked music.  (quite what that means will be determined  
later)
Users and IDE writers will need to change their scores and programs when  
this comes
out; I'm not certain that it's worth changing the language command in the  
near
future, and then change it again a year later.
