I think it is the wrong way to go if notes can only be guessed if you
know what user-settable memorization function is in effect.  We should
not sacrifice readability for the sake of saving a few keystrokes.

q should have fixed, simple, understandable semantics even if that means
that it saves fewer keystrokes in border situations.  Having its meaning
change on demand, in particular when this might affect \relative
octaves, is a bad idea.

Write-only music is not a good idea.
