"within a fourth" is equivalent to a distance of "three staff spaces or less".

This checks that the interval between the previous note and the `CONTROLPITCH' is within a fourth (i.e., the normal calculation of relative mode).This is a popular misconception, but it is wrong, as you can see by introducing various accidentals.I was merely quoting the manual, so if you have something to complain, do it there.
c fis is a fourth c fis, is a fifthces fis is a fourth - so it will be the fis above the ces although it sounds like a fifth.
So I think the quoted sentences are correct.The "popular misconception" is that only an unaltered fourth counts as a fourth.
You may think of suggesting a documentation enhancement to make this more clear, but I don't really think it is necessary.
