+In the "english" notename language, the long notenames for pitches
+with accidentals now contain a hyphen for better readability.  You
+now have to write
+@example
+\key a-flat \major
+@end example
+instead of the previous
+@example
+\key aflat \major
+@end example
+
+Double accidentals do not get another hyphen, so the Dutch
+@code{cisis} has the long English notename @code{c-sharpsharp}.

 @item
 The visual style of tremolo slashes (shape, style and slope)
 is now more finely controlled.
