FWIW, English note names are shorter if you use "f" for flat and "s" for 
sharp: cs vs cis is 33% more efficient.

I understand why some prefer the Dutch names, as you can read "cis" as one 
syllable. I have a repetitive strain injury dating back from college. It's 
manageable, but it does mean that redundant keystrokes are more objectionable 
to me than they would be for most people. (I doubt I could go for long in 
LilyPond without Frescobaldi's excellent autocompletion.) That, and being a 
Yank, lead me to prefer the English names.
