\transposition bug - pitch names in other languages

[Risto Vääräniemi]

Dear All,

I was writing a piece of score with transposed instruments and found out
that the \transposition command does not work in all cases. With B-flat
instruments it expects a parameter "bes" which is not present in Finnish
language file "suomi.ly". In Finnish you use either "bb" or "heses" for
b-flat. 

The example below shows the effects. If you comment out the \include line
and use the "bes" option you get a unison sound. If you use either "bb" or
"heses" with the \include you get some exotic tunes. :-)

            %\transposition bes  % standard b-flat
            \transposition bb    % b-flat in Finnish
            %\transposition heses % alternative b-flat in Finnish
            a'4 a'4 a'4 a'4 
        }
