to voice no longer gives any register surprises.
Absolute mode also tempts me to skip a few measures

make one case for relative notes. I'm typesetting a piece where there are
a lot of octave scale runs between both hands. It's very nice to be able
to copy several beats or even bars of notes, irrespective of the clef, and
I would imagine that kind of practice, just squeeze musical material into
instruments into their suitable range will make you less sensitive to which
octave you are composing on. If it works for some, then good. Both in terms
of timbre and counterpoint I would want to know excacly if I'm working
Another aspect: on english keyboards, the single quote ' is easily
reachable. But on german (and maybe other?) keyboards it’s further on
the right and you need the shift key to get it; the neo layout (a german
ergonomic layout which I use) also needs an extra key (called mod3, at

Hello all,
the relative instead of absolute is less comfortable. But that's just me.
When I started with Lilypond (ca. 2003), I immediately latched on to relative
coding, and found absolute coding difficult, confusing, and [I thought] a waste
of time.
Now that I’m cranking out very big

Hello all,
Hi Kieren,
I now code everything in absolute mode, and cannot believe how such a
little change has improved my life.

But, as you say, “that’s just me”. =)
Not just you, Kieren... ;)
Cheers,
