Greetings,
The reasons for one not using relative mode are clear, but it hardly
justifies calling for its deprecation. As a composer of primarily
piano music, it is an absolute lifesaver. And all to whom I have
introduced LilyPond, primarily pianists or harpists, immediately
gravitated to relative mode. Again, why deprecate it when you have the
option of simply not using it?

I often use LilyPond to quickly enter a very simple tune or
small pianosheet needing just a simple texteditor (Vim). I use \relative
all the time. c g c e g is soo much faster and easier than c''' g''
c''' e''' g''' g'''.
And personally I find lilypond code in \relative mode easier to read.
I agree that for complex scores with much music in variables \relative
mode can have annoying side-effects.
