Re: creating a context??

[Simon Weatherill]

Perhaps I'm missing something here, but...

When in relative mode, you use ' and , to notate a range more than a fourth:

bass = \notes \relative c, {
    e2.
    g
    a
    c4. g'4.\4
    fis
    e
}

The second g is an octave higher than the first g. The f sharp is a half step
down from that (once you move up an octave, you stay there until using ' or , to
change octaves again).
