I still disagree. One of the big changes in GDP was standardizing
on \relative c'' {} for the example. Now you want to go back? :(
Some new users found it really confusing when examples were
randomly switching between relative and absolute -- sometimes even
on the same doc page!
I wouldn't mind adding a section to LM 3 about absolute mode, with
usage cases and whatnot. But I still really think that everything
else in the docs should be \relative.
