Comment #2 on issue 4371 by address@hidden: examples need explicit  
\relative c'' {} to copy and paste correctly

I think we need to be a bit careful here. This is the *learning* manual  
after all and we're talking about chapter 1.

Even if I don't understand all the dev discussions about the vagaries of  
\relative and why \absolute is a good/bad idea - I use relative all the  
time in my simple way because it's easier to user than absolute entry and I  
don't use variables or separate input files personally - I take Keith's  
point.

However from a LM perspective perhaps we modify this section slightly - in  
a 'just-for-now-trust-us' kind of way (I think we do this in other parts of  
the LM) and perhaps put a more detailed explanation somewhere else (maybe  
ref something in the NR) for those that care or are curious.

Also remember that while just showing { }, is clutter, some @lilypond ...  
@end lilypond examples need them because of (I think) the  
limitations/considerations of the @lilypond 'macros' (Is that the right  
term?) for TexInfo and so Doc building.
