Hello, all --
One more clarification that might help \relative newbies...
Unlike \transpose x {}, the pitch that is chosen to "define" (begin)
the \relative mode block is used ONLY to provide the "relative origin"
for the FIRST NOTE, and has no other effect on future pitches.
For example, the following two sets will output the same result:
\notes \relative c'' {g b d}
\notes \relative c' {g' b d}
Notice that once the g(') has been "relativized", the next pitch (b)
uses it as its "relative origin" without any reference to the c'(')
which "initialized" the \relative note block. [This is obviously very
different from \transpose, in which the "definition pitches" affect ALL
pitches enclosed in the block.]
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
