@strong{Case sensitive}:
it matters whether you enter a letter in lower case (e.g. @code{a,
LilyPond calculates the pitch of each note relative to the
previous one@footnote{There is another mode of entering pitches,
-@ruser{Absolute note names}. However, in practice relative mode is
+@ruser{Absolute octave entry}. However, in practice relative mode is
much easier and safer to use.}, as we saw in @ref{Simple
notation}. If no extra @notation{octave} marks (@code{'} and
@code{,}) are added, it assumes that each pitch is within a
words, an augmented fourth is @emph{not} treated the same as a
diminished fifth. If we begin at a C, then an F-sharp will be placed a
higher than the C, while a G-flat will be placed lower than the C.
+An F-sharp is written as @code{fis} and a G-flat is written as
+@code{ges} as we will see in @ref{Accidentals and key signatures}.
