Re: Nested transposition

[ebenezer]

I don't have the expertise of the rest of you, but the first thing I did 
with Lilypond was give \relative the elbow. It just seemed like a 
nightmare way to compose. Ditto duration persistence. All for the sake 
of saving a few keystrokes?

Re: the manuals/guides where \relative is introduced as the way to 
compose using LP. Presumably, this has come about because most LPers 
find this easier, but I for one would have loved an "LP Guide for 
Non-relativists". And a guide with all the context in place, too!

That said, LP is an amazing piece of s/w and the community second to 
none. Without the help of this list I would have struggled to have my 
scores as easy to manage as they are today. Thank you!
