Hi,

I hope you agree that it’s worthwhile to make all these thoughts and
that it would be good to have such functionality in an easy-to-use way.
I do agree very much. It might seem like a minor thing, but I remember
when I used LilyPond for the first time many years ago, my first
reaction was: The notes look nice, but this English text on an otherwise
German score looks looks very unprofessional and I do think the out of
the box impression counts. My impression was: That looks like any
freeware would do.
Fortunatelly, I found out quickly how to change the tagline and I use a
custom one since then. But I support a convincing default appearance in
the users language.

Couldn't the language of the environment be used here? I get help and
log messages in German on my system why not the tagline?
I think this should be specified per file: if you want to publish a score on imslp.org, you may want an English tagline, even though you use german notenames and log messages. But perhaps this might be selected through an option, say
\language "local"
or the like.

Yours,
Simon
