Glad you found a solution you like, Ming.
I would steer clear of \relative completely. When I started using Lilypond, I
used \relative because Lilypond's documentation seemed to me to say "\relative
is recommended because it makes data entry easier". I found, from bitter
experience, that using absolute mode is better, and one reason is that it makes
it easier to make the Lilypond notation for later bits of a musical work, using
the Lilypond notation you have already written for earlier bits. You can copy
and paste without having to recheck the octave of the first pitch you paste.
