an innocent's query :)

[Bill Mooney]

Greetings All,
I am a newcomer to the list, and to Lilypond. Notwithstanding this I am 
finding LP very satisfying to use and am currently setting some 
hand-notation music for a friend - from which activity rises my query.
Would it be worthwhile to consider changing the way LP 'reads' its input 
files to allow the use of UpperCase letters for the notes?
It seems to me, in my innocence, that this would allow, amongst other 
things,  a change to the way sharps/flats etc are dealt with ( eg Aa = 
A-sharp, aA = A-flat, and other one-key-strokes for quarter-tones, etc, 
etc... ), and might lead to dropping the need for the various 'language' 
include files. It would also make global replacements of one particular 
note very easy (if perhaps in notating handwritten score by someone who 
is not very accurate in their note placement! ).
Regards
Bill
