Thank you for the patch.

Lists of letters sounds fine to me. And a set of standard lists,  
selectable by
  \mark \<letter-list-name>.

I think it should be supplied. I did not use it actually, but when I  
was using Transcribe, it discovered the need of coordination

transcribing the music into notation.
