-A @notation{sharp} pitch is made by adding @code{is} to the name,
-and a @notation{flat} pitch by adding @code{es}. As you might
-expect, a @notation{double sharp} or @notation{double flat} is
-made by adding @code{isis} or @code{eses}. This syntax is derived
-from note naming conventions in Nordic and Germanic languages,
-like German and Dutch. To use other names for
-@notation{accidentals}, see @ruser{Note names in other languages}.

-
-To determine whether to print an @notation{accidental}, LilyPond
-examines the pitches and the @notation{key signature}. The key
-signature only affects the @emph{printed} accidentals, not the
-note's @notation{pitch}! This is a feature that often causes
-confusion to newcomers, so let us explain it in more detail.
-
-LilyPond makes a sharp distinction between musical content and
-layout. The alteration (@notation{flat}, @notation{natural sign} or
-@notation{sharp}) of a note is part of the pitch, and is therefore
-musical content. Whether an accidental (a @emph{printed} flat,
-natural or sharp sign) is printed in front of the corresponding
-note is a question of layout. Layout is something that follows
-rules, so accidentals are printed automatically according to those
-rules. The pitches in your music are works of art, so they will
-not be added automatically, and you must enter what you want to
-hear.
-
-In this example:
-
-@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
-\key d \major
-d cis fis
-@end lilypond
-
-@noindent
-No note has a printed accidental, but you must still add
-@code{is} and type @code{cis} and @code{fis} in the input file.
-
-The code @code{b} does not mean @qq{print a black dot just on
-the middle line of the staff.} Rather, it means @qq{there is a
-note with pitch B-natural.} In the key of A-flat major, it
-@emph{does} get an accidental:
-
-@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
-\key aes \major
-b
-@end lilypond
-
-Adding all alterations explicitly might require a little more
-effort when typing, but the advantage is that
-@notation{transposing} is easier, and accidentals can be printed
-according to different conventions. For some examples how
-accidentals can be printed according to different rules, see
-@ruser{Automatic accidentals}.
