Probably more like address@hidden/address@hidden  I think that in Info
formatting, this will likely turn into -`s'/-`-sharp'.  Ok, could be
worse.  I'll make an attempt.  I don't think that it makes much sense to
share the commit, but I guess it's ok to share the review.

 @item
+In the "english" notename language, the long notenames for pitches
+with accidentals now contain a hyphen for better readability.  You
+now have to write
address@hidden
+\key a-flat \major
address@hidden example
+instead of the previous
address@hidden
+\key aflat \major
address@hidden example
+
+Double accidentals do not get another hyphen, so the Dutch
address@hidden has the long English notename @code{c-sharpsharp}.
+
address@hidden
 The visual style of tremolo slashes (shape, style and slope)
 is now more finely controlled.
