After wasting some time writing a new package for python-ly (just to
realize that the package already existed), translation of pitches
works wonderfully out of the box:

    ly-3.5 "translate deutsch" -o new.ly old.ly

So even if Frescobaldi is broken for me at the moment, at least the
command-line tool does the job.

Parsing and doing my own acrobatics by adding buttons will take a bit
longer until I'm able to go into the depths of the documentation.

Thank you,
