Comment #5 on issue 4371 by [email protected]: examples need explicit
\relative c'' {} to copy and paste correctly
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4371
Nearly half the 460 examples that use the relative=n option of the
lilypond-book system do not actually use the \relative. About 15% would
give better advice to the users if they used a separate \relative for each
segment of the input, such as the two hands of piano music.
Roughly 25% examples using relative=n have ten pitches or fewer, so it
merely avoids the {} and a small number of octave marks.
The idea of using \relative in the tutorial was first discussed here
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2006-12/msg00383.html
I think we do not need any incantation to make LilyPond look simpler than
it is.
