Re:Proposed new available and recommended behaviour of \relative

[Kevin Barry]

Dear LilyPond users,

Am I right in saying that the proposed new \relative {}, where the first 
pitch is absolute, is equivalent to simply writing \relative f {} in 
current usage? That might make it easier to explain in documentation 
than trying to explain that the first note is treated differently to the 
rest, although f may initially seem like a strange choice of reference 
point to a new user.

As for the change itself I'm in favour of it, but I don't feel strongly 
about it.

Kevin
