Well,

Tracker issue: 5746 (https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/5746/)
Rietveld issue: 547610043 (https://codereview.appspot.com/547610043)
Issue description:
  Fix and align musicxml and input language "deutsch"  Has commits:
  In \language "deutsch" use b only to replace hes  The quartertone
  names should all be derived from h instead of b since beh was being
  used inconsistently.   Fix deutsch language of musicxml2py  Use b
  only for hes and nothing else.  Also use asas and asah instead of
  ases and aseh.

should fix either.  It doesn't use patterns for hes.  Somewhat artless.
So what.
