I am somewhat unhappy with the concept behind the new default use being \relative {...} without qualifier as it mixes absolute and relative pitch writing within the bracket. At least as it is explained. No change to new functionality but different explanation, the new \relative {...} would be equivalent to \relative f {...} (or do I overlook some subtle issue in case of nested use or transposition?) hence all notes within { } could be interpreted as relative notation... > That's a similar approach like we took for \override: the old syntax > continues to work, but convert-ly tries promoting the "suggested" form. I wonder if a such change would be welcome, as it is slightly surprising.
