I think Lilypond should propose both, the "official", somewhat abstract name
for a glyph, a symbol, whatever, but the stuff should also be accessible 
via the
musicians' term. When I read the ly source of a file, it is 
self-explaining if I read
\deadNote ... , so as a guitarist, I know what to do.

I know, a similar discussion has been on the mailing list, so I don't 
want to repeat
everything. In my opinion, there should be as much synonyms for any 
given function
as needed to allow easier music encoding (not engraving, as seen from 
the musicians' side).
