Subject: Issue 5094: Change error message for unrecognized strings
X-Git-Url: https://git.donarmstrong.com/lilypond.git?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1334c5f9e0824db4adbb4cd949406f7bfdee9524;p=lilypond.git

Issue 5094: Change error message for unrecognized strings

Instead of mentioning the modes in which arbitrary strings would be
permissible, state that the string is not a note name.  This is more
likely to be helpful to users, particularly in the case of wrong
notename language.
