I can't count the numbers of times I've sang "mi eight dot dash
dash dash dot open left parenthesis", either.  :P

Renaming it wouldn't, but something like
  \relative c' "italiano" { }
would.  Not that that's the only, or best, option, but on a
technical sense it might be easier to handle.


By the way, who's offering to spend the 5-20 hours required to
implement such changes to the parser?  (whatever we end up
deciding)
I mean, if nobody's willing to do it, then there's no point
discussing it further.
