Comment #4 on issue 2558 by [email protected]: Documentation suggestion: Including LilyPond files
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2558
I'm having a little trouble convincing myself that setting relative-includes off is actually helpful. For example, Urs says
For example: - If I have a general library I will want to have relative-includes on - But if I have normal include files (e.g. music definitions) I will want to have relative-includes off because these files reside in files relative to the main .ly file
but if the local files are relative to the main .ly file leaving relative-includes on will work just as well. Also, it is the intention to switch the default value to #t, and I would suggest switching at the start of or early in the 2.17 cycle would be sensible. If people agree, this section will need a (small) rewrite anyway. I'll wait to see if there are any other suggestions, but my inclination at the moment is to mark this invalid. Trevor
