I want to achieve the following:
(1) $a is respects $x as its "startpitch"
(2) $b is respects $x as its "startpitch"
(3) removing A has no effect on B
\relative $x {
%{A%} { $a ... }
%{B%} { $b ... }
}
In the example above: (1)=ok (2)=fail (3)=fail
\relative $x {
%{A%} \relative { $a ... }
%{B%} \relative { $b ... }
}
In the example above: (1)=fail (2)=fail (3)=ok
Idea #1:
\relative $x {
%{A%} { \backupCurrentRelativeOctave $a ... \restoreCurrentRelativeOctave }
%{B%} { $b ... }
}
Idea #2:
\relative $x {
%{A%} {
c d e f g a b c d e f g a b c d e f g a b c
% we are aware that the current relative octave has raised by 3
% drop it back manually
\ghostNoteWhichDoesNotActuallyAppear { c,,, }
}
%{B%} { $b ... }
}
How to properly make B respect $x instead of the last note in A ?
