It works with every language (tested with 01a-Pitches-Pitches.xml and 
01d-Pitches-Microtones.xml from the regtests).

The only thing that might be "disturbing" is the presence in the 
resulting file of the line

\include "lingua.ly"

instead of the newly formulation

\language "lingua"

unless there were some Arabic or makam  music.xml file around...


Sorry if this is too much noise.
