Re: music patterns and octave

[Gianmaria Lari]

I'm sorry I have not been clear in my old messages, hope my last one it is clearer.

Regarding:

\relative c'
   {
   ...
     \setOctave c'
     \relative c' \changePitch \rhythmPattern { ...

I'm not even sure of how LP interprets that last \relative.

Last "relative" applies only to the whole musical _expression_ generated by "changePitch". You can see it clearly here:

\version "2.19.35"

\include "changePitch.ly"

pattern = 

{

   r2 a16 a8 a8 a16

}

\relative c''' 

{

  a4 c e g  

  \relative c' \changePitch \pattern {a b c d}

  a4 c e g  

}

 

I attached the output.

Ciao, g.
