Re: \relative versus \absolute (was "Re: Macro/multiply notes")

[Knute Snortum]

I am still a novice at using LilyPond (maybe a sophomore) but I'd like to make one case for relative notes.  I'm typesetting a piece where there are a lot of octave scale runs between both hands.  It's very nice to be able to copy several beats or even bars of notes, irrespective of the clef, and paste them in.  You couldn't do that with absolute notation.

Hello all,

Hi Kieren,

 

I now code everything in absolute mode, and cannot believe how such a little change has improved my life.

But, as you say, “that’s just me”.  =)

Not just you, Kieren... ;)

Cheers,

Pierre
