Re: non-relative relative mode?

[Mats Bengtsson]

I assume that you mean \transpose and nothing else.
Of course, this is one good approach to avoid having to
type all the ' and ,. However, I still recommend you to
give the \relative another try. I think most people on this
list agree that it's very convenient once you get used to it.
The basic idea is very simple, as long as the melody only
includes intervals that are not larger than a fourth, you don't
need any ' or ,. For all larger intervals, you add 's or ,s to
get to the correct octave.
