How about:
Music inside a \transpose or \chordmode block is absolute, unless a
\relative is included inside the the \transpose or \chordmode block. When
\relative blocks are nested, the innermost relative block applies.
I think that this information should be put in several places in the NR.
First, I think that the information above should be put into 1.1.1 Writing
Pitches as examples under Relative octave entry. There should be three
separate items/examples:
When relative blocks are nested, the innermost relative block applies.
\relative c' { d e f \relative c'' { d e f}}
Music inside a \chordmode block is absolute unless a \relative is included
in the block.
\relative c' { \chordmode { c \relative c'' { c }}
Music inside a \transpose block is absolute unless a \relative is included.
\relative c' { d e \transpose f g { d e \relative c' { d e }}}
Second, I think a warning (inside a box, not just a known issue) under
t1.1.2 Changing multiple pitches Transpose should say
Music inside a \transpose block is absolute unless a \relative is included
in the block.
with a see-also to \relative.
Similarly, a warning in 2.7.1. Chord mode should say
Music inside a \chordmode block is absolute unless a \relative is included
in the block.
with a see-also to \relative.
Note: I haven't tested any of these examples.
HTH,
Carl
