Not sure if this is a reply to me - I may have written something about chord
names in French where A7 becomes La7, as the font has to be able to cope
with this. But if so, I can't find it for the moment.
If I didn't get the exact French names right then désolé! Excusez moi
s'il vous plait! But my point was supposed to be generic to all
latin-based languges where fixed sol-fa names are used for notes and chord
names (with slight variations in spelling?). [I have them programmed into
Mozart's language modules for French Italian and Spanish - but I didn't dig
them out.]
German does indeed have different note names for altered notes (like As and
Ais for Ab and A#) but apart from H for B and B for Bb I don't think this
is a problem because Ab7 is (i believe) the normal way to write that chord
in German. However other alphabetic characters do appear like Hv for Bdim.
My point (and I can't find whether I made it or not, but probably did) was
that for a font embracing international chord names you need essentially the
whole alphabet (upper and lower case). But I think Daniel has that on
board.
