Hello all,
I'm totally new to Lilypond... but while reading the manual, I have become
seriously confused by the following example of octave check:
\relative c'' {
c4 f g f
c4
\octaveCheck c'
f
\octaveCheck c'
g
\octaveCheck c'
f
}
I understand why the first and third octave checks fail... but I am
uncertain why the last f (which appears in the output as the f below c') is
chosen instead of f'. According to the manual (
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/changing-multiple-pitches),
"If this [octave] check fails, a warning is printed, but the previous note
is not changed. Future notes are relative to the controlpitch." However, f
below c' is not "relative" to c' since it is a fifth away from c'. Or have
I misunderstood what is meant by "relative"?
Basically, my question is... why do we get f not f'?
Thanks,
-Nik
