Hello all,
Just thought I'd put my 2¢ in here…
In the last year alone, I have Lilypounded two stage musicals, a chamber opera,
and about a dozen smaller pieces, with a range of styles from Alan Menken to
Arnold Schoenberg. So I believe I can qualify as someone who has entered
"complicated music".
For me, \relative is unquestionably the best way of entering music. More
specifically, \relative c'' { c ... } has been the best way of entering music
for me. I find it totally intuitive, both in terms of how to enter it, and what
I should expect Lilypond to output. When combining variables — consecutively or
concurrently — it does exactly what I expect and want.
As far as I can see, the new syntax proposal (i.e., \relative { c'' … } where
c'' is an absolute reference) provides me with the same level of intuitive
simplicity, so I am fully in support of the proposal.
Best regards,
Kieren.
p.s. Admittedly, I never use \parallelMusic, which I find clutters the input
and makes true content-presentation separation to be difficult (if not
impossible). Maybe this is where people encounter a lot of their problems with
\relative?
